- 0:00Labuschagne experiments with leg spin and off spin against Webster and Kuhnemann.
- 1:47Webster edges to Gannon, sending Labuschagne sprinting away in celebration.
- 4:47Kuhnemann hits the ball straight back to Labuschagne for a caught-and-bowled dismissal.
- 6:56The title's third wicket arrives here, followed by another running celebration.
Queensland were told they could only bowl spin, according to Fox Cricket's description. Marnus Labuschagne made the restriction look like an invitation.
Against Tasmania at the Gabba, the batter took three wickets in seven balls, with celebrations that involved considerably more running than his approach to the crease. Fox Cricket's highlights drew about 182,000 views in their first 18 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual opening day for regular videos.
The clip begins with Labuschagne trying both leg spin and off spin. Then Beau Webster edges to Cameron Gannon, and Labuschagne sprints away. Matthew Kuhnemann supplies the next opening, hitting the ball straight back for a caught-and-bowled dismissal. Gabe Bell follows with an edge to Gannon in the slips.
"He's off again on a huge celebration!" says a commentator after the third wicket. The bowling has given the broadcast a story; the bowler's inability to stand still gives it a personality.
Viewers are picking up on both. Some discuss whether his leg spin deserves more attention, others joke about a return to Australia's Test side as a bowler rather than a batter. His celebratory sprints have even prompted a Roadrunner comparison. The comments section is already roughly ten times busier than the channel's usual first day.
Fox Cricket puts "Test Recall as a Spinner?" in its title. That's a playful selection question, not an announcement, but this spell supplies the wickets behind the joke.
