Ten things I hate about Marnus…

1. That he is always referred to as ‘Marnus”, not Labuschange. Like some female politicians, why does he get singled out for the chummy first name use?

2. Constant, irritating fidgety movements at the crease. If people think Smith is bad, he ain’t got nothing on ‘Marnus’

3. Chewing gum and blowing bubbles. Most of us stopped doing that in 6th grade.

4. Slow, sulky walks off after being given out. Don’t worry mate, you’ve never been out in your life have you?

5. Smart alec comments at batsmen from close in. Somebody should tell him that’s no longer allowed under Pat.

6. Cultivated air of insouciance or nonchalance. Yeah mate, your so cool.

7. The sort of shit displayed in the video. What a plonker.

Actually that’s only seven, but I’m sure others can find more.

1. On Sam Konstas: leave the kid alone for a couple of years, as they did Ponting. It worked then. A few years ago certain nongs wanted to pick Travis Dean for Australia after one game (admittedly a remarkable one). He's not been so good since.

2. Agree with you completely about Amelia Kerr. She may be my favourite cricketer, the first non-Australian to get the gong since Basil D'Oliveira.
