They said this about Maxwell and it never happened. Good coaching would help though.

Konstas doesn’t have an issue with the short ball that helps
 
Underrated cricketer, he made a gutsy ton against NZ along with AB in the second innings at the Gabba back in 1985.

They still got beaten by an innings after Hadlee ran through the Aussie batting line up in the first innings with a 9'fer.

Back to front cricketer The issue with Matthews was...he was picked to take wickets....which he didn't ...but he made runs instead

some handy knocks in his 30 odd tests ave over 40 ...but with the ball .. :rolleyes:

He's 19. He will learn which shots to play and when.

Under the right tutelage and with the right attitude yes. I'm not convinced we have the right resources for the former and I wouldn't know him well enough to know if his attitude is the latter.

I saw his 100 when I got home from school too. He sprinted to the fence to kiss his girlfriend. Great character!

Then why go so early with that analysis?
 
Openers done their job, Marn is looking safe. Just avoid a middle order collapse and it's been a terrific day.

Marnus looking safe? At what? Getting hit in the nuts?

He wasn't a great test spinner but his batting made up for it and why he played a lot of ODI cricket as he was a good all rounder.

He was also a good mentor for other younger better test spinners like Shane Warne and Tim May.
 
By the time this test finishes he will Bradman and trumper mixed together
As long as it doesn't go to his head. He is naturally aggressive, but the ramps shots aren't normal for him at Shield Cricket. Must have been a plan to throw Bumrah off his line. That can work or can end up embarrassing. Not sure we see that every time he bats.
