‘Did you say Colgate?’ Bizarre toothpaste sledge leaves Marnus Labuschagne in stitches
Australia were at it again on Sunday behind the Fox Cricket stump mic, but this time it wasn’t Tim Paine dishing out the cheeky banter.
Instead, it was David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne who were heard in a bizarre exchange about toothpaste.
Shaan Masood was facing Nathan Lyon on day four of the first Test when Labuschagne — fielding at short leg — was heard mentioning Colgate.
“What did you just say Marnus? Colgate? Did you say Colgate?” Warner, fielding at second slip, said after the ball was bowled.
After one of his teammates confirmed Labuschagne did “say something about Colgate”, Warner probed further.
“What are you implying? What, he’s got bad breath does he?” he said.
With the over completed, an amused Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket: “I’ve never heard so many references to personal hygiene in my life.”
The sledge followed on from Paine’s on day one that was in a similar ballpark.
Paine was behind the stumps with Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan on strike. Rizwan had replaced Sarfaraz Ahmed in the side as a wicketkeeper, which Paine used for sledging ammunition.
“Sarfaraz would have already hit him four, Gazza,” Paine was heard saying on Fox Cricket. “Sweep shot, bang, four.”
He added: “Smells good though, smell’s very nice.”
Steve Smith was also involved in an amusing exchange moments later as Fox Cricket’s Mark Howard interviewed Pat Cummins. Smith was noticeably lurking behind the camera, which prompted Howard to ask: “What’s Smithy adding to the cause there?”
“Very little,” chimed in Smith.
