Marnus Labuschagne's Unconventional Field Placement Stuns Umpire in Sheffield Shield Match

The Australian cricketer's unique fielding tactic during a match against Western Australia left both the umpire and commentators bewildered.

Marnus Labuschagne, captaining Queensland, positioned a fielder directly behind the umpire during a Sheffield Shield match, surprising the on-field officials.
The unusual setup occurred in the 66th over, with Labuschagne later adjusting the fielder to the left of the umpire before delivering a bouncer.
Labuschagne's fielding tactic went viral online, with many comparing it to 'gully cricket' strategies.
Despite the unconventional fielding, Western Australia's Sam Whiteman and Josh Inglis built a strong 203-run partnership.
Labuschagne's participation in the Sheffield Shield is part of his preparation for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India in November.
