Cricket Viral Video: Marnus Labuschagne has achieved another accomplishment by taking two wickets while bowling off-spin in England. Despite being primarily known for his batting skills, the Queensland player is also a proficient bowler. However, apart from his achievement, it is the way of dismissal that has now generated buzz on social media.
Labuschagne’s unconvential dismissal
Despite the ball appearing to pitch outside the leg stump, Michael Jones, the Durham opener, was given out lbw by Marnus Labuschagne during Glamorgan’s second County Championship match of the year. On day one, before Tea, Durham had made it to 193-2 when Labuschagne, who was bowling off-spin instead of his typical leg-spin from the wide of the crease and around the wicket, took the wicket.
Labuschagne appealed for the decision while crouching in front of umpire Tom Lungley who eventually raised his finger, much to everyone’s surprise. Thus, opener Jones was dismissed for a score of 69 runs from 136 balls. Labuschagne now has his first wicket of the County Championship season, just after being named to the squad before Australia’s World Test Championship final match against India in June, followed by the Ashes series.

The commentator, Ryan Campbell, who also happens to be the coach of Durham was left in disbelief and he went on to say, “That can’t be out. Let’s have a look at the replay, that’s pitching outside leg by half a foot. I’m sorry, if you’re bowling off-spin that’s not spinning that cannot be out.”
