I have no idea why Tom started to spray me: Liam Livingstone
In his interview with BBC Two after the match, Liam Livingstone recalled his sledging with Tom Curran during match number 10 of the Hundred 2025 at Edgbaston. The Birmingham Phoenix captain revealed that Tom Curran called him a "fat slob", after he he warned him to not to come to bowl in death.
"I have no idea why Tom started to spray me. He is one of my good friends and he called me a fat slob or something so I thought ‘let’s hope you don’t go for a few if you come back at the death’ and he did so I’m kind of happy with that," Livingstone said.
