The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries Omnibus They're Finally Over

With the Ashes done and dusted, here's the final Omnibus post for the Marnus Labuschagne Diaries. Both the Marnus and Smudge Diaries have been an absolute joy to write over the years, and I'm glad I got to end them the way I wanted to.

The Collected Ramblings of Ian Chappell What it's like to pretend to be an increasingly insane Australian cricketer for just over four years

In 2021, I decided to pretend to be Ian Chappell for a joke once. Things then got out of hand. In the below link, you'll find a collection of over 60 gags based around someone pretending to be an increasingly insane cricket commentator.

Thank you so much!

And Stokes getting into it with Marnus was just me learning something about writing funny things about cricket for the umpteenth time: Never make plans, because the players will inevitably do something far funnier than you could ever think of.

This joke, by the way, started off as me seeing Steve Smith writing in a book during a test just over four years ago, and expanded into something much, much more time consuming. If you've read and enjoyed the Steve Smith or Marnus Diaries, thank you so much for your support over the years.

The Ashes Diaries, Sydney, Day Three Or, On Punching Bazball and Saying Goodbye

In the final ever #Ashes Diary, we discover how you can punch Bazball out of people, and say goodbye to some old friends.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Sydney, Day Two Or, On Old Friends and New Speeches

As the Marnus Labuschagne Diaries draw to a close, their relevance to what is actually happening in the #Ashes gets further and further away. Still, there's lots of in-jokes about Australian cricketers here for people to look at and be confused by.

this thread has the most incredible levels of american bluesky I've ever seen. no need to have an opinion on any of it. just sit back and enjoy.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Sydney, Day One Or, On Great Moments in New Zealand Defeat and Englishmen Chanting

In the latest #Ashes Diaries, Trav develops a plan for defeating Baz, while the English lay down their final attack on the Australians.

Ian Chappell, What Have You Gotten Up to on New Year's Past? Or, the Single Stupidest Chappelli-post I will ever write

For people looking for something to do on their Friday evenings, here's a link to a 6000 word story where the #cricket commentator Ian Chappell describes the events of the Doctor Who TV Movie as if they happened to him.

I have no idea why I did this.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Melbourne, Day Two Or, On Steve and Ben Having a Serious Chat

While you wait for the start of another day of #Ashes #Cricket, if you've been following the ongoing saga of the Marnus Labuschagne Diaires, they are slowly approaching some form of climax.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Melbourne, Day 1 Or, On Ageing Gracefully and Leaving Toxic Relationships

Enjoying the #Ashes nonsense and want some more odd cricket things? Then why not enjoy a little bit from Marnus Labuschagne's Diary about Christmas in the Australian change rooms!

The image of Ben Stokes trying to destroy all of the computers and accidentally causing mass arson was too good to pass up.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Adelaide, Day 4 Or, On Oneness with Nature and Technology Detoxing

Enjoying the build-up to Day 4 of the #Ashes #Cricket? Why not enjoy it a little bit more with some nonsense about Travis Head's moustache and Ben Stokes's war on computers.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Adelaide, Day 3 Or, On What To Do If You Get Hot, and What To Do If You Get Cold

If you're not already tired of DRS drama in the #Ashes #cricket, then why not read the latest Ashes Diary, and find out how it all relates to Travis Head...

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Adelaide, Day 2 Or, On Pat Returning and Steve Leaving

While England are struggling to bat sensibly in the #Ashes #cricket, cast your mind back to yesterday when Australia were struggling to bat sensibly with the latest Marnus Diary.

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Adelaide, Day 1 Or, On Naughty Bits and Naughty Words

It's all a bit chaotic in the #Ashes #Cricket in Adelaide at the moment, but remember how chaotic things got at the end of the Brisbane test? Reminisce with this pretend diary entry from Marnus Labuschagne.

Meg Ryan wearing a red jumper and looking at the camera with a look that makes you think she’s one of the most attractive women on Earth.

Meg Ryan is now wearing glasses, and is now The Most Attractive Woman on Earth.

Rewatched When Harry Met Sally tonight. Meg Ryan spends most of it being one of the most attractive women in the world, except for when she puts on glasses, when she suddenly becomes The Most Attractive Woman in the World.

Perfect movie.

in the pit

This entire weekend

This is Spinal Tap. “It really puts perspective on things, though, doesn’t it?” “Yeah, too much. There’s too much fucking perspective now.”

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars or Trek, LOTR, Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I try and watch Chicken Run every year in that space between Christmas and New Year’s. A beautifully crafted and incredibly funny movie.

Stokes continues a wonderful tradition of the England captain being hit in the dick during an Ashes tour. #Ashes 🏏

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Brisbane, Day 4 Or, On Batting and Not Batting

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Brisbane, Day Two Or, On Not Sleeping and Cricketers' Dreams

A little bit of nonsense as the #Ashes cricket devolves into some Starc and Boland nonsense about what cricketers dream about

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Brisbane, Day 2 Or, On Not Gettting to Play Cricket, and Not Wanting to Play Cricket

Watching the #Ashes and wondering what Marnus Labuschagne might have thought about the Australian cricket team deciding that they didn't want to play cricket last night? Then wonder no more!

The Marnus Labuschagne Diaries, Brisbane, Day 1 Or, On Old Men and the Cricketing Powers of Former Leaders of the USSR

Enjoying the #Ashes? Wondering what Marnus Labuschagne thought about the ending of the Perth test? Then, continue to wonder, because this is baseless speculation about what he might have written in his diary.
