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

[peternorth]

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

Sacrificial lamb?

 

[Duck Farmer]

Thank God Khawaja didn't try to calm him down after that first ramp.

 

[beatnik]

Neither Kohli or Sam wanted to back down there

Even Ravi Shastri embarrassed by Kohli

 

[Drunkcat]

Kohli should get a big fine for that, but i bet he pays nothing the grub.

 

[Natho]

Imagine being so offended by a teenager

 

[FullyBigKPro]

His first spell would just about be done too surely Bumrah in 34 degrees

 

[Stax on the mill]

Will Marnus come out and bat in a similar manner?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

I saw it as Kohli walking into Konstas

 

[Around the Wicket]

This is fun to watch, but lets not delude ourselves into thinking that this is a tenable way to open the batting in test cricket in the medium-to-long term.

I’m sure he has gears, he won’t bat in 4th and 5th gear all the time

 

[Westend]

Let’s see how these Indians flogs try to spin this to get Kohli off

Disgusting by Kohli

 

[CURVE]

That is the most unbelievable hour of cricket I've ever seen from a debutant. He shot making is outrageous and he has made Bumrah look like a club bowler at times. This is fun.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Mcsweeney is the future too. He shouldn’t have been dropped.

It’s ok to be dropped early in your career. Konstas probably won’t stay in for the entirety of his career either.

McSweeney will be back and I think he’ll score a lot of runs for Australia. Don’t think there is many bats who have survived with 70 runs in their first three Tests

 

[jannissary]

McSweeney will be back, he's just not an opener like Konstas is.

i agree, but he was never an opener, surely konstas was on the radar at series start?

Kohli has to miss that last Test, he changed his line completely to bump him

 

[Moonwatcher]

There was a fielder there

 

[peternorth]

This is one of those moments where every Victorian will say they were at the mcg to witness this

This is why the MCG Boxing day test match is the best and biggest cricketing event of the calendar

 

[Magma]

he's a hard runner between the wickets too

 

[Joffaboy]

Lol a third man within the hour.

[hawkman]

Any word yet if England are taking credit for Konstas?

Duckett on the phone to every reporter as we speak

 

[Struggle]

Khawaja will probably have a word to him in a moment about taking quick 2s

 

[Buzz Hawk]

The audacity of youth, I love it.
Bring in any other half decent 19 or 20 year olds we may have around the traps.
None of this pushing and prodding to protect your spot in the side, if you’re going to go down, go down swinging.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

This is Warner ball

Even Davey at his peak would be scared to play some of the shots we have seen this last hour

 

[Westend]

Kohli has to miss that last Test, he changed his line completely to bump him

Yup 100percent pathetic act by a senior cricketer

 

[Moonwatcher]

65 from 72 balls.

Lol a third man within the hour.

5th over man which is dreadful play,The kid will sky one no need to put a man out early v the best bowler in the world

 

[Headless]

Feel like there'll be a send-off when Konstas gets out, but you're taking 47 at minimum from a player on debut in this situation every day.
