The English summer has kicked off with County matches being played in the country. In a Group 3 encounter between Lancashire and Glamorgan scheduled from May 6 to May 9, Australian star Marnus Labuschagne showed his skills.

Labuschagne was representing Glamorgan and could only score a measly 12 runs in the first innings. However, it was his bowling that caught everyone’s attention in a rain-affected game.

The 26-year-old stunned everyone when he was handed over the ball by his team’s skipper Chris Cooke. Labuschagne took t??he opportunity in his stride and bowled nine overs, conceding only 4??0 runs.

It was a leg-spin bouncer during his spell that astonished the batsman. Labuschagne emulated Shane Warne, Anil Kumble and Shahid Afridi, all of who had bowled a bumper somewhere in t?heir careers? post a short run-up.

Lancashire all-rounder Luke Wood was caught off-guard but finally managed to duck the delivery. Cooke, who is also the wicket-keeper for his side, showed his precision with the gloves as he?? grabbed the ball behind the stumps.

Th?e County Championship shared the clip through their social media handle.

“Lots of love for the wrist spin bouncer. Marnus Labuschagne keeping the batsman on his toes,” the title sponsors captioned their video.
