Former player and now Big Bash commentator, Mark Waugh, has added to his blooper reel after dropping the C-bomb live on air during coverage of Saturday night’s game between the Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars.
Waugh was indulging in some mindless banter about Heat recruit and former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum and his apparent passion for horse racing.
“He loves his horses. Good punter. He’s a lucky c@nt,” Waugh said before immediately correcting himself with, “Lucky punter, too.”

It’s not the first time this cricket season that Waugh has struggled with the English language and TV’s G-ratings.
Last October, Waugh again found himself tongue-tied when attempting to pronounce – the admittedly rather difficult – Pakistan batsman Fakhar Zaman’s name during Australia’s Test series in Dubai. Check out the unfortunate clanger below:
Hahaha Fakhar Zaman 😂
