Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne was over the moon after he guessed a DRS right during the Australia Vs England match in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Steve Smith, his dear friend talked about how Marnus is still buzzing from getting that DRS right. Marnus Labuschagne played a brilliant innings against Englan, scoring 71 off 83 deliveries but the highlight for him was the DRS after which he was hugged and embraced by his teammate.
While England was batting, Joe Root nicked a ball which was caught by wicketkeeper Josh Inglis. However, the Australian team was not very keen on the appeal except for one guy and that was Marnus Labuschagne. Marnus was pretty confident that he heard a noise when the ball went past Root’s bat and somehow he convinced Australian captain Pat Cummins to take the DRS. The Ultra-Edge technology showed a spike as the ball went past Joe Root’s bat and he was declared out.
Everyone in the Australian team went to hug and embrace Marnus Labuschagne for his sharp ears which eventually came in handy. Marnus was buzzing from the fact that his instinct was correct and the Australian team got the wicket of Joe Root.
Steve Smith Could Not Control His Laughter When Asked About Marnus Labuschagne
In a press conference, Steve Smith was asked about Marnus Labuschagne and how much was he buzzing after he got the DRS right against England. The way he was hugged and embraced by his teammates was something that was never seen before. Steve Smith referred to a saying that Marnus used to tell him which was, “Even a broken clock is right twice a day.”
Steve Smith stated, “He keeps using this saying to me, he thinks I talk a lot of rubbish but he goes ‘even a broken clock is right twice a day’. I think that worked for him yesterday or the day before. But yes he has got good ears to be fair, he hears a lot of things and he’s always confident something’s happened. Fortunately, he was right on this occasion.
Australia defeated England by a margin of 33 runs and is currently third on the points table. They need just one more win to officially qualify for the semi-finals and they will hopefully do that in their next match against Afghanistan.
