Pak vs Aus 2022: Pakistan fan shows off cheeky poster on Marnus Labuschagne during 1st Test 

With Australia playing their first match in Pakistan since 1998, there was plenty of excitement on the ground for the first Test in Rawapindi that began today.

Several fans with creative posters, one supporting the home team, had a special one for visiting batter Marnus Labuschagne.

The poster, warning Pakistan about the threat Labuschagne is, read:

"Beware of Marnus. He will say No Run all day and end up with a 100."

The poster draws from Labuschagne's habit of shouting "No run" after defending a delivery, which has often been caught by the stump mic and, of course, his knack for playing big knocks.

There were, of course, some fun posters brought in by other fans as well.
