Warney and Roy say mean things about Labuschagne off-air while Howie keeps schtum

Descriptively prolix thread titles are the way forward imo

To be fair I missed most of what these ***** are saying.

Warne: (indistinct) give Marnus another bowl or two
Symonds: Do somethin' (indistinct) ADD ****en (indistinct)
Warne: Yeah ****. Jesus, it's annoying. "Nooo!" Just ****en bat normally.
Symonds: We'd have to give him the hogpile. "Mate, you keep that **** up, we're gonna squash your guts out your arse".
Warne: *laughs*

What the **** does any of this even mean?!?

cricketweb legend ajdude is the one that spread this on twitter

 

[Gnske]

ajdude is going to get Roy cancelled and then get counter-cancelled once it's revealed he posts here.

 

[Aritro]

Did he spread it here? If so, in the true spirit of competition, let's leave both threads up and see which one has the most legs.

But also good work, ajdude!

So this is a reference to former aus player Brad Hogg, who sometimes got a bit over-excited and hyped up. The story has been told plenty of times that when this happened Symonds would tackle him and a game of stacks on, or a Hogg pile, would occur and teammates would jump onto him. brad hogg was claustrophobic

So basically what Symonds is saying is that Marnus is different and he should be bullied until he conforms

Jesus, what's Roy's username here?

 

[Spikey]

here is my serious post on the subject with links

on a serious note, when Hogg made his BBL return, ex-players turned commentators loved to tell the story of the "hogg pile" which always seemed like a pretty unnecessarily form of dressing room bullying (particularly when hogg's book came out and he talked of his problems with some players). for those that don't know what the hogg pile was, it seems when Hogg annoyed Symonds, he would tackle Hogg and have the rest of the team jump onto Hogg, who was claustrophobic and didn't much enjoy it. very strange areas. anyway, the tone of Symonds in this clip when he says Hogg Pile made me thought of this.

 

[Gnske]

And if it helps contextualize the first part, they're complaining about Marnus's exaggerated calling of 'NO RUN' in the Smith fashion.

 

[Flem274*]

when's someone going to tell symonds that marnus is a better batsman than he ever was?

probably a better bowler too. have we discussed symonds bowling before?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Could marnus bowl 10 overs in an ATG ODI XI?

Ah thanks mate, that was basically gibberish prior to your explanation.

Also The Age newspaper has provided this transcript:

On-air gaffe: Warne, Symonds in hot water for mocking Labuschagne

Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds ripped into Marnus Labuschagne for his eccentric mannerisms at the crease, unaware the cameras were recording.

www.theage.com.au

"Do something now to his ADD (attention deficit disorder) f***ing pills," Symonds said.
"Yeah, f---," Warne responded. "Jeez it's annoying. 'No!!!' Just f---ing bat properly," Warne said, referring to Labuschagne's unorthodox behaviour while batting. Superstar batsman Steve Smith has similar quirks but was not targeted.

What Symonds fails to recognise is that without his pills, he'll obviously be even more twitchy.

 

[Gnske]

hahaha for real, it's not even the next day and they're already all over it

 

[Spikey]

what's even stranger is that Smith wasn't mentioned at all. you'd think they'd at least be a "he's almost as annoying as Smith" or something

 

[Gnske]

Warne wouldn't want to tear into his former lovechild that badly.

I bet Warne doesn't even rate Marnus.

 

[Aritro]

I'm actively ruing the fact that Warne didn't use a homophobic slur at any point. That would have been a fun shitstorm to watch unfold after his immediate sacking.

Poor Labu

i am one of (as of this post) 652 people who retweeted the original post. sadly i didn’t spread this, however can i interest you in a story about how dean brownlie was on an episode of the main event?

 

[Spikey]

you absolutely can. do it in the forgotten players thread. get it down in folklore

 

[Aritro]

We have unequivocally moved on from blokes being called Dean, I dare suggest

tbh i personally find smith's eccentricities amusing and honestly kind of endearing because it's plain that it's entirely unconscious and he genuinely has no idea how he looks, whereas i feel that marnus is very very self-aware and knows exactly how he looks
