227: Marnus Labuschagne (Part A)

From a backyard cricket prodigy to one of the quirkiest figures in world cricket. Born in South Africa and raised in Queensland, Marnus's love for the game is infectious. Marnie is more than just his batting stats; he’s a character. Known for his mid-pitch chatters, eccentric habits, and unwavering love for coffee, he’s brought an old-school charm to the modern game. From a letter from coach Justin Langer, a chance call-up to the top level during the Lord’s Ashes Test in 2019 to an unlikely 2023 World Cup winning performance and overcoming performance slumps. Marnus, really is one of a kind. He is a beauty.   *** This is Part A early for you... Part B will be published Thursday morning for us to all enjoy more of Marnus! ***  Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/  Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
