'Gully Cricket': Australia Star Marnus Labuschagne's Unique Field Setting Breaks Internet - Watch

Australian cricket team star Marnus Labuschagne left everyone stunned with his unique field setting while leading Queensland in the opening round of Sheffield Shield. During the match against Western Australia, Labuschagne came on to bowl but it was his field placement that sent the internet into frenzy. The Australia all-rounder instructed one of his teammates to stand directly behind the umpire inside the circle. It was neither a mid-on or a mid-off position with the fielder placed almost directly behind the stumps. Even the on-field umpire was surprised when turned back and saw the fielder.

Labuschagne made further changes to the field as he went to the fielder and pulled him towards the left of the umpire and asked him to stay there for the rest of the over.

It turned out to be a bluff from the Queensland captain as the next ball was a bouncer but the batter did not fall for the trap and easily ducked to avoid the delivery.
