The day started with Guyanese

serious LIXX .....*phew*
[size=5]
Marnus Labuschagne -154*

When you finish the day at around 300 for 2, you'll feel good.
It was nice to build partnerships throughout the day.
It helps coming from Brisbane (home ground), the conditions are
pretty similar here, you can understand the conditions better when
compared to Adelaide or Sydney. It was all about the process,
build your whole game around it and don't worry about anything else.
My wife and my daughter Hallie made this trip down to Perth
it's her first day at the cricket and it was nice to get a score in front of them.

West Indies, who lost the toss in the morning, attacked with the new ball, stationing as many as five slips at the start of the innings. The cordon didn’t see much action as Australia left judiciously with only one edge falling short of Holder.

Labuschagne has only batted three times at Perth Stadium
for scores of 143, 50 against New Zealand
and now this currently unbeaten hundred*
with the venue reminding him of his home in Brisbane.

"Whenever you're not out overnight on 150 the next stop is 200,"

Labuschagne is loading up to add more to his tally tomorrow
with a second Test double-century within reach.
