5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

[Coasters7]

Konstas has played pretty differently at shield and not this reckless.

I just feel the coaching staff need to have a word to get him to temper the aggression a bit. Feel like it’s a bit of a rush of blood more than anything.

Without Bumrah, India are a lot less threatening and can play much more on the bad balls, rather than trying to create scoring opportunities through aggression.

Still - orders might have been by coaching staff for Konstas to play aggressively much like India did, as the wicket is a bit of a minefield.

People here are pretty brutal on the kid. He’s again put good early pressure on and scored a good chunk of the tally. Got out going too hard, but he will learn. He plays Shield far more conservatively.

Yeah definitely feel like it’s going to his head a bit in front of home crowds and the spice really riling him up. We’ll see what he’s got in Sri Lanka with less eyes on him.

 

[Shifty1]

Finishes the series like he started it.

 

[ptrg]

You all wanna pot Sam, that's legit a million times worse

 

[Tassieboy]

Why does he do that?

 

[Gethelred]

Terrible ****ing shot.

 

[Doggy]

Fancy getting out to this spud

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Now that is the worst shot of the series

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

That shot was as bad as Konstas'

Catching practice

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Rubbish by Marnus, high risk low reward shot

 

[Soups]

You should be banished from the team for that shot.

 

[Plugger35]

Getting a bit interesting now.

 

[Gak Attack]

Another gift. Some dumb players in our batting lineup.

 

[swingdog]

Rather have Konstas'innings than Marnus'.

 

[Outtatym]

Terrible shot

 

[Southerntakeover]

Given Smith's record in the second innings, this could get worrying.

 

[Kapow!!!]

What. The. Absolute. F***. Was. That?

 

[The 747]

Like the way Marnus guided that to slip, showed care for the fielder.

 

[010203]

Marnus should berate himself because that's as soft as it gets. Now surely Smith will bring up 10,000 Test runs in this dig.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Inexcusable.

 

[Aussie pie]

Surely not?

 

[Cataholic]

Kohli carrying on like a vanker.

 

[HK_Hawk]

That was just as stupid as the Konstas dismissal

 

[troybe]

You gotta let some shots go not everything needs to be hit

 

[SSwans2011]

Well it ****n seems to be for him. You saying he’s a good leader

Ussie's definitely a good leader.

Different format, but the way he took the Heat from laughing stocks to reigning BBL champions says it all.

Great record as captain for QLD too.

 

[richo's dodgy hammy]

That is worse than Sam's shot lol
