Delist and drag this clown now. This is embarrassing. Disrespecting Australian test cricket.
How did this fool get selected?

Calm down gramps

 

[The hands of stone]

Have to get bat on ball first.

True but look for singles rather than ramps ........

 

[Redline]

I can't agree that this shows Konstas is not scared.

He is telling the bowler I cannot grind you down.

I agree, shows panic to me.

 

[madjoe]

Ok, I guess, but a 43 over match isn’t really 4-5 day cricket.

Good luck to him though, the game changed with Warner opening, and more recently BazBall, now this.
Change isn’t necessarily bad.

Englands lost more then that've won since Bazball has started in the longer form,Got to pick the moments not every ball

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thinks he’s playing for England. So this is the next Gen? People are right T20 is ruining test cricket.

Least he’s trying to score

 

[Nelso]

40 degree day and you have the chance to grind India into the ground and Konstas is attempting get out shots in the first half an hour.

Utter madness.

Clearly gone into the game as a "strategy", maybe get his eye in before trying it lol.

 

[Moonwatcher]

5.3 overs to rotate the strike for the first time.

 

[Plugger35]

Could you imagine David Boon trying to play the ramp shot on his test debut against the West Indies about 40 years ago?

 

[peternorth]

Again, i ask, if that was any other player in Australia playing that shot, how would they be marked?

Enjoy the honeymoon, Sam.

It is because he's 19.

I just want to know why is Sam snarling like a dog protecting its meat?

Can come across as masking ones true feelings aker nerves or fear.

 

[Stax on the mill]

We havent even looked for a single yet

Having trouble getting bat on ball to work a single.

 

[imagifED]

Much prefer Konstas who could put Bumrah off his lengths than Mcsweeney who will push and prod for 10 off 50 before eventually getting out anyway.

 

[eddiesmith]

Done it plenty of times for NsW at shield level actually

Explains why he’s only ever made a century in one shield match and that was against SA on a postage stamp.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Does this Shiraz plonk think everything is out?

Only missing by two feet mate

 

[iDon]

is every appeal out for Siraj?

 

[Richard Cranium]

So we've gone from one opener who was too scared/unable to play a shot to one who is gonna try and ramp.

Some real Goldilocks shit here. Do we have a 'just right' opener somewhere?

 

[Neese]

Siraj is such a tool

 

[RookiePick]

Strike not being rotated. Scoreboard stuck.

Maybe it's just tough opening the batting against fresh Bumrah and Siraj with the new rock.

 

[peternorth]

Ambrose, Marshall, Garner, Walsh would take his head off

 

[Swanny69]

Referrals should only by two in tests. Frivolous waste of time

Agree .. and call them
Challenges which is what they are

Englands lost more than they’ve won because of their players, not because of their attitude.

Did you look at their formline before that, I’m betting it was abysmal.

Two

 

[Magma]

here for a good time not a long time

 

[Dockerjonz]

Haha

 

[Moonwatcher]

Siraj on the big screen lol
