Numerous reality and comedy shows including unique aspects have proliferated around the world to keep viewers riveted to their TV screens. As time went on, concerts started to spread throughout numerous social media platforms. Consequently, we have witnessed a number of cricket celebrities participating in games and other comical programs.
But subsequently, the Australian cricket squad improved much further. Imagine Fletch and Hindy, the hosts, interrogating the group while administering a lie detector test. Following the show’s rules, things can get out of control, but in a unique way. For those who don’t know, Pat Cummins and company appeared on the “Fletch and Hindy” Show back home. The rule was straightforward: if you told the truth, the associated blue buzzer would blink. If the player responds incorrectly, they risk receiving electric shockwaves.
Stars like Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, and Mitchell Marsh were consequently forced into the firing line. The true trick, though, was that the hosts’ choice of questions and approach made the lie-detecting quite humorous. The test’s goal was to expose the most contentious issues and obscure details from the Oz players’ biographies.
The proceedings were kicked off by ODI World Cup hero Travis Head. The hosts cleverly focused on Head’s choice of celebration following the final victory over India.
“Travis, are you a party animal? Do you enjoy going to parties? Fletch enquired “Yes,” was Head’s response to this query. Did you have more than five brews following the World Cup victory? Over ten, perhaps? Over 25?”
In a hilarious move, the host Fletch activated the electric shock feature to trick Head before the explosive batter could say nay.
Usman Khawaja decided not to start the innings in the amusing lie-detecting test, in contrast to his custom as the opener for the Australian team. When asked what was wrong with Marnus Labuschagne, his teammate, Khawaja responded. In a clever response, Khawaja said, “I think he got dropped on his head a few too many times as a kid.”
Fortunately, the cricketer’s response prevented him from getting shocked with electricity. The broadcaster then peppered him with questions on David Warner’s retirement. He was questioned if the team’s current atmosphere was better before Warner left or if it was better today. What was the outcome? In light of the fact that he had lied, Khawaja felt as though someone had abruptly and violently struck him in the back of the head.
Not at all. Whoa, I feel like I just got smacked in the back. What the heck happened? Khawaja remarked, “I felt like someone just hit me in the back of the head,” looking shocked. The host Fletch added, “You just had to say yes or no, so obviously you were lying.”
According to Pat Cummins, Bazball was a liar.
Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, was the next person to go under the knife. To begin with, he was asked to confirm his name. Then, during one of the follow-ups, Cummins was questioned about the “Bazball.” He leaped, rather unflinchingly, and said, “It is,” agreeing with the presenter when she called it “bulls**t.” Josh Hazlewood, meantime, was questioned about his name, Joshua, and whether or not he had a middle name.
In addition, Marnus Labuschagne was questioned how to pronounce his last name correctly when he took his seat. In response, he used the reference “Ch” from his last name, eliminating the possibility of the Labu-shane allusion that is sometimes used by well-known cricket pundits. In addition, several undiscovered facts regarding Glenn Maxwell were discovered.

Labuschagne was questioned over the well-known golf incident. He attested to Maxwell’s actual fall from the cart. But his response drew electric shocks. While Mitchell Marsh was questioned over the all-around player’s travel to Turkey. In response, he disclosed that Maxwell had gone to Turkey for dental care, resulting in the acquisition of replacement teeth.
