‘I'd like to see him check’ - Marnus Labuschagne charges back at David Warner over his ‘not convinced with Marnus’ remarks

Whenever it’s the Border Gavaskar Trophy underway between Australia and India, the atmosphere always gets intense, both on and off the field. The discussions, analyses and comments from the experts, commentators, and former cricketers play the role of ‘spice’ in the recipe of this blockbuster series between two cricketing giants.

In the same line of events, the two new faces in the headlines are the former star Australia opener David Warner and the star batter Marnus Labuschagne, who is currently the part of Aussie squad in the ongoing series against India.

Just a few days back, Warner came up with a ‘hard and fast-lined’ comment on Marnus Labuschagne’s batting approach in the second Test against India. It all started when Labuschagne was caught in the gully by Yashasvi Jaiswal in the second Test in Adelaide.

I might have to have a look at Warner’s comment there - Marnus Labuschagne

Furthermore, David Warner’s remarks didn’t go down well with Marnus Labuschagne and the latter didn’t hold back from replying with a counter statement.

“I’m still not convinced with Marnus. I don’t think that was anywhere near what we know he’s capable of. He might have got a couple out of the middle, got a couple of freebies, and batted well that night to get through but they bowled poorly,” Warner had said.

“So, from that perspective, he had the best conditions to come out and bat in. But he got out the same way he always does get out when he gets over 50, hits it straight to gully,” he added later.

Hitting back at Warner’s comments, Marnus Labuschagne advised the former Aussie great to recheck some facts and stats before coming up with any kind of verdict.

“I'd like to see him check how many times I’ve been caught at gully because apparently, I get out there every week. I’ve looked back and I think I can only remember getting caught at Gully twice. So, I might have to have a look at Bull’s (Warner’s) comment there. But like I said, everyone’s here to write newspapers, write articles,” replied Labuschagne.
