England<\/a>'s famous Barmy Army supporter group doesn't need any extra fuel to relentlessly sledge an opposition during a match.<\/p>\n

But\ufeff unfortunately for Marnus Labuschagne<\/a>, the Aussie<\/a> fielder provided it when he attempted to claim a clear non-catch on day four at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n

The crowd was already fired up and the noise inside the Birmingham stadium reached deafening levels \ufeffat various stages as England pressed their Ashes<\/a> advantage and the tourists desperately hunted for wickets.<\/p>\n

The hosts were already 7-228 in their second innings when tail-ender Ollie Robinson gloved a fierce Josh Hazlewood delivery which popped up in the air.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne, at short mid-wicket , dived forward and clasped the ball in his right hand, but then turned it to slide the ball along the turf.<\/p>\n

\"Marnus\"Marnus<\/p>\n

The on-field umpires sent the decision upstairs and it took only one replay for the third umpire to confirm the catch was not genuine, and Robinson would stay at the crease.<\/p>\n

\ufeffUnsurprisingly, the Barmy Army wasted no time getting stuck in.<\/p>\n

They started a chant, "same old Aussies, always cheating", likely referring to the infamous 2018 Cape Town ball-tampering scandal.<\/p>\n

Steve Smith, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft were all handed lengthy suspensions from cricket after the latter was caught with sandpaper in his pocket while fielding.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The Aussies were sledged relentlessly last time they toured England in 2019.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The chant could also have been referring to an incident during last week's World Test Championship final, where Cameron Green took a catch that India claimed was not clean.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Former Aussie Test captain Mark Taylor said it clearly wasn't a catch from Labuschagne.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffIf he's got that, that's a super effort. I didn't think he was going to get there," Taylor said in commentary.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffNot out given, and I think rightly not given. I usually err on the side of the fielder with these ones but he used a bit of the ground to control the ball, fingers never fully got underneath the ball.<\/p>\n

"He didn't quite secure the ball."\ufeff<\/p>\n
