Certified Legendary Thread 4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

Need to reserve judgement and give the young man a go, at least until he’s batted.

I vividly recall the incredulity, scorn and belittlement of Scott Boland on this board when he debuted against England in 2021. From memory Boland performed pretty handily in that series.

He’s been picked best of luck to him of course.

Doesn’t mean the decision was right.

Who faces the first ball?

Konstas get in their faces show them he's not intimidated. Look to.attack and be positive early

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Love watching us bat on Boxing day... About to make a cheese and ham croissant for morning tea... Oh yes

Who faces the first ball?

If Khawaja has an ounce of a brain it’s him

 

[Joffaboy]

Now that's a great respectful and short welcome to country.
Well received by the crowds as well.

Exactly it’s the long ones that give everyone the you know what’s. Was very well done

 

[Plugger35]

That guy talking about how the MCG is a safe space, it won't be a safe space when Bumrah is bowling.

You get the impression that Konstas will have the rest of the series and the next one irrespective of whether runs are made or not dont you

He could get a pair in this test and he would probably still be playing in Sydney, they aren't going back to McSweeney again.

Did they pick this bloke out of the crowd? Its not karaoke

With selection reckon if India where given the opportunity they would change there team at every drinks break

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Not as if wonder kid Gill was in form let’s be real

He wasn’t but weird to select a side with four specialist batsman. Would be very rare. Two of which are out of form 36yo’s

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Sam Konstas pencil moustache. Delist.

I think McSweenys papers have been stamped a la bancroft.

 

[smasha]

Best wishes to our debutant Konstas.
Get em brother.

 

[troybe]

Nearly broke the sound barrier with that one

 

[JimmyBC]

Interviewing wags fukc me what a world.

Rohit is back opening which makes sense. Feel the issue has been Reddy in so good form they had to fit a second spinner in.

Looks like a young Vince McMahon

That’s the spirit Joffa.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

lol Khawaja as usual chickens out

 

[chickenonachain]

Is this bloke Harley Reid in disguise camera can’t get off him?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I think McSweenys papers have been stamped a la bancroft.

McSweeney will definitely play Test cricket again. Can’t think of any players would survive 70 runs in their first three Tests. He’ll be back for sure and will be better for the experience

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

He's wants the first ball amazingly.
