The quirky Australian batter, Marnus Labuschagne was seen complimenting himself, “Yeah, well played, Marnus” after ducking a short one from the English all-rounder, Ben Stokes during the opening day of the second Ashes 2021-22 Test in Adelaide. It was another of Labuschagne’s mannerisms, after his famous “no run” chants having already become viral on social media.
In a rather hilarious moment during Day 1 of the second Ashes Test in Adelaide, Marnus Labuschagne appreciated himself for getting under a bouncer from Ben Stokes. His “Well played, Marnus” expression was caught on stump mic, much to the delight of on-air commentators and the fans alike.

Marnus Labuschagne, who recently 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.

Here is how teh fans reacted to the actions of Marnus Labuschagne:
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 🤣🤣🤣 which caused him to fail on occasions, but now he's himself with a bit of Smith's magic in him😂🤣 Let's go Marnus👍

What's going on with Labuschagne?
HeLeaves he shouts "NO RUN" no shit mate, the keeper's holding it, and it's not your call when it's behind you.#Ashes— Monkeybradders (@monkeybradders) December 16, 2021
