Australia batter, Marnus Labuschagne, has been caught at the gully frequently. The batter has been under the scanner for a while now and has been accused of playing casual shots after settling in. Recently, in the second Test against Indian in Adelaide, he was caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at the gully region and this called for the former Aussie opener David Warner to highlight the persisting issues.

For the unversed, though Labuschagne scored 64 runs in the first innings of the Adelaide Test, he was called out by Warner as the latter quipped that he is still not convinced by the batter. Ahead of the third Test in Brisbane, the right-handed batter has hit back at the former Australia opener and has defended himself of the appalling observations, which does not hold true in his sense.

“I’d like to see him check how many times I’ve been caught at gully, because apparently I get out there every week,” Labuschagne told News Corp (via The Roar).

“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,” Labuschagne added.

I’m still not convinced with Marnus: Warner

It is worth noting that, at the end of two Tests in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Labuschagne has batted in three innings. He got out for single digits in Perth, but later scored a half century in the first innings at the Adelaide Oval. But unconvinced, Warner stated that the 30-year-old got freebies from the Indian bowlers.

“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, batted well that night to get through, but they bowled poorly. 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,” Warner had said.
