Ashes 2021-22 | āWell played, Marnusā - Twitter reacts as Labuschagne compliments himself after ducking a bouncer
Labuschagne was unbeaten on 53 at the dinner break on Day 1 of the Ashes Test
|Marnus Labuschagne hilariously complimented himself, āYeah, well played, Marnusā after ducking a short one from Ben Stokes during Day 1 of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide. It was another of Labuschagneās mannerisms, after his famous āno runā chants having already become viral on social media.
In a rather hilarious moment during the first day of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, Marnus Labuschagne acknowledged himself for getting under a bouncer from Ben Stokes. His āWell played, Marnusā expression was caught on stump mic, much to the delight of on air commentators and the viewers alike.
The right-hander soon got to another Test fifty, thereby extending a second-wicket stand with David Warner to an unbeaten 121, as Australia headed to the dinner break at 129/1. Labuschagne, who recentlyĀ climbed to the No.2 spot in the ICC Test batting rankings, had walked out to bat after Marcus Harris had been dismissed for 3, courtesy of a stunning diving catch by Jos Buttler.
Australia headed into the match without the services of their skipper Pat Cummins, who was ruled out after having come in close contact with a covid-19 positive case on Wednesday.
MARNUS!

UNIQUE indeed!
He's cute and has the right spirit. How often do you see a batsman praise himself? I like his way, he's unique. Earlier he used to copy Smith š¤£š¤£š¤£ which caused him to fail on occasions, but now he's himself with a bit of Smith's magic in himšš¤£ Let's go Marnusš
