AUSTRALIAN pair Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja confronted an England fan in the stands at The Oval.

The top-order batters were making their way back up the steps to the dressing room at the end of play on Day Three of the Fifth Ashes Test.

The Aussies had spent the entire day in the field as England finished on 389-9 with Stuart Broad and James Anderson at the crease.

And they were in no mood for one mouthy England supporter’s verbals.

The fan repeatedly shouted: “Boring!” at the Baggy Greens over and over again, then called out Labuschagne by name.

And the 29-year-old – as well as fellow star Khawaja – stopped in their tracks to challenge the spectator.

Video footage of the incident shared on Twitter shows Labuschagne asking: “What did you say mate? Oi! Hey!”

Khawaja, 36, then tells the fan to “calm down, calm down”.

The loud-mouth supporter then immediately backtracks, adding: “I apologise.”

But Labuschagne is unhappy and replies: “Well, you’re just about to have a go at everyone else.”

At that moment, Khawaja pushes Labuschagne up the steps and they head up the stairs.

The fan then appears to call the following Aussie players “cheats” before the travelling fans shout encouragement to their heroes, who have already retained the Ashes.

Twitter users blasted the so-called cricket fan with a series of tweets, including one referencing the famous Inbetweeners ‘ooh sorry, sorry’ scene.

One said: “Imagine going to watch some of the best players in the world at an elite sporting event and claiming you’re bored. It’s been another brilliant test. What do people want?”

Another wrote: “Paying to watch a Test match day and then to slate a team as you perceive them to be boring. Seems a lot of England fans seem to think their team has reinvented test cricket and all teams have to buy into. Seems a tad arrogant to me.”

‘DISGRACEFUL AND DISRESPECTFUL’

And a third added: “That is disgraceful and disrespectful behaviour. I am mightily embarrassed by the way some of our English cricket fans speak to the Aussie cricketers, who will have the last laugh if they win the Ashes.”

The confrontation between England fans and Australian players comes just a few weeks after they clashed in the Long Room at Lord’s.

Members at the prestigious club piled in on the tourists following the controversial Jonny Bairstow stumping.

And tempers boiled over as Khawaja and fellow opener David Warner were pulled back by security.

Khawaja said on the incident: “Some of the stuff coming out of members’ mouths was really disappointing. I wasn’t going to stand by and cop it.

“A few of them were throwing out some pretty big allegations and if they kept going, well it’s your membership.

“I expect a lot better from the members.”

The Marylebone Cricket Club suspended three memberships and released a statement condemning members’ behaviour.
