Former Australian cricketers Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds have been caught in a controversy after a behind the scene video appeared on social media where the duo was seen mocking Australia’s number 3 in Tests- Marnus Labuschagne.
The incident happened when both Symonds and Warne were waiting for a Big Bash League game that was delayed due to the extended period of play in the ongoing Test between Australia and India, and they were seen talking and imitating Labuschagne’s batting style in the commentary box unaware of live streaming by Kayo-streaming partner of the Fox Sports, the broadcaster of the league was live.
Kayo had to come forward and apologise for the good up of its commentators."Our stream started early and caught some unacceptable comments. On behalf of @kayosports and the commentary team, we unreservedly apologise," Kayo tweeted.
The conversation began with Warne suggesting that Australia should bring Labuschagne onto bowl when India were going good with the bat to which Symonds threw an ‘ADD’ jibe about Labuschagne. Warne got carried away from there and started imitating Labuschange’s style of batting in the middle and called his mannerisms annoying while also saying the right-hander should bat properly.
