"Marnus Labuschagne's golden run has continued, moving to the top of the official ICC Test batting rankings for the first time.

He scored his first Ashes century in the first innings in Adelaide, knocking England captain Joe Root from top spot after he had held the crown since August this year.

The Australia No. 3 was adjudged player of the match in the second Ashes Test held at Adelaide Oval for his 103 and 51 in the second innings that helped the hosts record a comprehensive 275-run win and a 2-0 series lead over England"
