, 5 news, a view

Former Australia players Shane Warne and Andrew Symonds are facing backlash for their insulting comments and making fun of Marnus Labuschagne's unorthodox batting approach. Warner and Symonds were mic'd up ahead of a Big Bash League (BBL) game between Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades on Friday. Before the game, the conversation between the two former players was aired on the streaming platform Kayo Sports, which later issued an apology for the language used by the two commentators.

In the viral video, both Warne and Symonds can be heard criticising Labuschagne and his eccentric mannerisms. Symonds even said that Labuschagne has ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), while Warne called him "annoying".

Their comments received widespread backlash on the social media, with people slamming the two former players for their crude comments about such a promising batsman.
