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

[RookiePick]

Bumrah turning the wick up. Mid 140s. Field moved around.

Risky but forcing changes in the Indian approach.

Riveting

 

[Marmozet]

Konstas is giving me massive anxiety

 

[SportsCentre]

This might actually give Khawaja some confidence as an indirect result

 

[Plugger35]

Konstas is making Warner look like an old fashioned test opener.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Now he can just put singles around.

 

[Swanny69]

Bob Dylan just plugged in his electric guitar

Brilliant

 

[Aussie pie]

Imagine the abuse Maxwell would get if he played like this in a test match. Interesting the way the commentators are having a big O over this kid.

 

[Joffaboy]

I’d like to see him settle down soon.. not sure it’ll last too long playing ramp shots.

Regardless of how much I hate it, he has a good eye.
But yes, the nerves should be gone. Not surprising in front of 90k people.

I wonder if coaching staff and captain were aware Konstas was going to bat this way. It’s entertaining after a fashion, but I’m a baby boomer and prefer a much more traditional approach to test match batting.

 

[Rocco sifreddi]

Kids trying to smash everyone

 

[jhong]

What do you old campaigners want, him to just stay on the crease and letting Bumrah work into a rhythm?

I’m on old bugger and I want him to keep going . Unorthodox but very entertaining.

You make a decent point. Though I think maxwells antics are celebrated too right?

 

[jannissary]

this innings really begs to ask why we even looked at mcsweeney to open in the first place. while unorthodox, this is someone who actually can open the batting

A good eye? we aren't watching the same match. Unless you have watched the last two overs

Played and missed nearly all of the first over.

 

[peternorth]

Everytime you hear Konstas is 19 years old, take a shot.

 

[ABAB]

Debutant takes worlds best bowler for 14 people here still complain survived half hour going at 3 an over. Great job

Good plan against Bumrah if you have the talent as McSweeney just lets him bowl and bowl and eventually nick out but against Siraj????

If he goes out, he’ll get shamed real quick.

 

[JackFlash]

Well, at least he's giving Bumrah something to think about. I like it! Good start.

 

[beatnik]

It often worked for Sehwag…has disrupted India’s structure and made Bumrah think twice…far better than being strangled on off stump

Konstas has a pair of brass ones

 

[peternorth]

Kerry ok yes yes we get it, he's from NSW

 

[Scorpus]

3 ramps work, 3 have missed and he has had 2 charges down the pitch not making contact.

Lets not get in front of ourselves lads.

A ramp missing is just a clever leave in my eyes

 

[Black Diamond]

Well a drive past the bowler and a pull through mid wicket would inspire a lot more confidence than how he scored those runs.

 

[Westend]

Runs are flowing

Keep slogging Sam

You seen the balls Brumah was bowling??? Siraj was even causing Khawaja big problem.

 

[Joffaboy]

Reckon maybe one more from Bumrah,? Survive that and maybe can relax just a little?
