POTCHEFSTROOM – Marnus Labuschagne described making his first One-Day century as “very special,” not just for him, but also a group of about 50 family and friends who turned up to Senwes Park on Saturday to watch him.
Labuschagne grew up just 50 kilometres west of Potchefstroom, in Klerksdorp where he first picked up a cricket bat and got family and friends to throw balls at him. His father, who works in the mining industry was offered a job in Brisbane when Labuschagne was 10 and the family moved there, where he continued his cricket development, eventually earning a Test call up and donning the ‘baggy green,’ in 2018.
Among Labuschagne’s guests were his grandparents, who he said have supported his career throughout, often staying up through the early hours of the morning to watch him play when State matches in Australia have been streamed on-line.
