Marsh Cup 20-21: Marnus Labuschagne Pulls off a Stunning Run-out to Remove Tom Andrews

Marnus Labuschagne, who plays for Queensland, showed his fielding prowess during Australia's domestic one day cup. The dazzling fielding display happened during the Marsh Cup game at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Queensland won the toss against Tasmania and had to bat first. Labuschagne’s extraordinary guile was witnessed when Tasmania were batting.

Billy Stanlake was bowling in the 33rd over of the innings to Jordan Silk, who attempted the delivery to the off-side and tried to steal a quick single. Tom Andrew, who was at the other end, too ran for the run but failed to finish in time. The Aussie queer, who was at his agile best, charged from the gully region. He picked the ball up with his right hand and hit one stumps with a narrow angle to aim at. Diving forward into the air, he managed to hit the target, sending Tom Andrews packing.

Labuschagne showed great accuracy to pull off the brilliant run-out and presented a unique example of fielding. Fans were reminded of former South African fielding pioneer Jonty Rhodes, who showed how runs can be saved at a high level of fielding.
