227: Marnus Labuschagne (Part B)

From a backyard cricket prodigy to one of the quirkiest figures in world cricket. Born in South Africa and raised in Queensland, Marnus's love for the game is infectious. Marnie is more than just his batting stats; he’s a character. Known for his mid-pitch chatters, eccentric habits, and unwavering love for coffee, he’s brought an old-school charm to the modern game. From a letter from coach Justin Langer, a chance call-up to the top level during the Lord’s Ashes Test in 2019 to an unlikely 2023 World Cup winning performance and overcoming performance slumps. Marnus, really is one of a kind. He is a beauty. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am absolutely loving the tour diaries! They are podcast gold. Have always loved the Hokies Games but this is next level. I look forward to the the final part although i don’t want it to stop.

What an outstanding podcast - if not the best one of the best particularly given you has no time to prepare. Craig’s story was inspirational and shows that with a dream, a desire to succeed & a willingness to learn and work you can do anything your out your mind to. Long story (review) short lol. Are you able to get Dennis Lillee on Howie? Love your work & your story was up there as well as one of the all time greats
