During the recent Ashes Test, Marnus Labuschagne was commenting on the play (e.g., "going down leg," "four runs"), prompting Ben Stokes to retort, "We've got two umpires out here, we don't need three," according to Stuart Broad, leading to a heated exchange where Stokes was later seen telling Labuschagne to "shut the f*** up" as part of England's plan to get him out of his routine before getting him out next ball, noted India Today and NDTV Sports.
What Happened:
The Trigger: While Ben Stokes was bowling, Labuschagne made comments from the non-striker's end about the deliveries, such as calling them "down leg" or "four runs," as revealed by Stuart Broad.
Stokes' Response: Stokes then told Labuschagne, "We've got two umpires out here, we don't need three".
Escalation: Later, Stokes appeared to tell Labuschagne to "shut the f*** up," according to ESPNcricinfo.
The Context (England's Strategy):
Stuart Broad explained this was part of England's plan to get Labuschagne out of his usual routine and comfort zone.
The tactic worked, as the next ball Stokes bowled, Labuschagne drove at a wide delivery and was dismissed, notes India Today.
Outcome:
The exchange, while heated, was part of a tactical battle, and Stokes got the better of Labuschagne with the wicket shortly after, according to ESPNcricinfo and India Today.
