In the first round of Australia's premier red-ball domestic competition, Sheffield Shield, Queensland was led by Marnus Labuschagne who proved to be vibrant on field. Playing against Western Australia in Perth, Labuschagne took up the bowling himself and also thrilled the spectators with his unusual tactics. After Queensland won the toss and decided to bat, going out with some intent was all that the visitors could do. Michael Nesser was the prominent figure to pick a few wickets for the visitors as he sent back Cameron Bancroft (0), Jayden Goodwin (0), and Mitchell Marsh was left for 13. However, spinner Mitchell Swepson later broke a good 59-run partnership for the fourth wicket by getting Hilton Cartwright out for 38.

To inject some excitement, Labuschagne brings himself into the attack. In over 66, he brings a teammate onto the field behind the umpire and presents an unusual fielding position. Surprisingly for the umpire, he had a fielder right at his back. Labuschagne then changed his mind and changed the fielder to another spot. Watch the video here: 'I don't think I've ever seen that!'
