‘How mаny overs untіl Smudge саlls for а vest?’ Mіс’d uр Mаrnus roаsts Smіtһ

A mic’d up Marnus Labuschagne couldn’t resist roasting teammate Steve Smith over his love of wearing the Australian sweater vest in a hilarious session with the microphone on his chest.

Australian No.3 Labuschagne was mic’d up by Fox Cricket on day one of the first Test against India in Perth and hilarity ensued.

Labuschagne and Smith are notoriously close mates over their shared obsession with cricket and batting.

But the eccentric Australian batter directed a sledge Smith’s way as a cold wind swept Perth Stadium on day one.

“How many overs until Smudge calls for a vest?” Labuschagne said.

“I’m going one, one over. The vest. I can feel it. It’s vest weather.”

It is hard to keep Labuschagne quiet on the field and he celebrated debutant Nathan McSweeney’s catch with his first touch in Test cricket in style.

“Yes ‘Buddha’ (McSweeney), that’s a lovely grab,” Labuschagne said.

“He’s on the board the Big Cheese. Come on, that’s good. Big Cheese, that’s a nice catch too.

“That’s nice, straight in the bread basket. Oh your finger is bleeding.”

Later Usman Khawaja questioned Labuschagne on some changes he noticed to his Australian team pants, prompting an admission from his teammate.

“Are your pants tailored?” Khawaja asked.

“Yeah shorter, mum did it.

“Mrs Labuschagne lovely work on the pants,” Khawaja said.

“Great tailor, great dress maker,” Labuschagne said into his mic.

“Thank you mummy,” Khawaja added.

Labuschagne then directed some high praise for his skipper Pat Cummins during a fiery spell on day one.

“Terrific bowling,” Labuschagne said.

“That’s a seedy (seed - good ball).

“That’s why he is the best.”

He later celebrated a catch from Alex Carey off Mitchell Starc with trademark excitement.

“Yes you beauty,” Labuschagne said.

“Alex great catch well done.”
