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.
8. That he thinks he’s Steve Smith Mk II. Idiosyncratic behaviour is acceptable when it comes with tons of runs.
Actually that’s only eight, but I’m sure others can find more.
Hi Peter - Was I reading too much into your comment on Green? "There is some question around the bowling he did in that series [in England]?" Are you suggesting he was overbowled?

Sigh, Gideon...I would kill to see them do Flood in its entirety. They have annoumnced Philly, DC and Brooklyn shows. I am on tenterhooks to see Toronto on the list soon.
Hi Gideon, I agree that the leg-spin bowling of Marnus is worth pursuing on occasions at Test level, but it’s hard to build a case that he’s maturing as a leader.
Ten things I hate about Marnus…(updated)

Hi Andrew. Drop me a line (gideonhaigh@hotmail.com) and we'll see if we can sort this out.
Best review of a TMBG show.
Try reading the follow-up email, Sriram. They were great!

They did every song off Flood and more, played for two and a half hours.

Also, happily on board from the get go and good to be golden. I only bought The Australian for you blokes!
Shower of shit….😂😂😂. Such a strange passage of play the whole spectacle.
