This is why konstas needs to be dropped. Asap.

Short answer, it's not sustainable.

He CAN bat in a normal fashion, but for whatever reason in these 2 games he's chosen not to.

Trying to prove himself. Needs to learn his game and respect the role of opener.

Doesn't seem to be able come down from top gear...

Don't mind attacking intent chasing this low score, but that was not a good cricket shot.

He'll get there but you are right, he needed to assess that he had got the field scattered, now it is time to turn the strike over to disrupt the bowlers

I'm sure he respects it, and he's allowed to go about it in his own way.

It's more about when and when not to change gears.

Marnus trying to bat India back into the game.

I think it’s fine in his infancy as a test player and given the situations he’s found himself in you can maybe excuse it.

I just find it really weird he has never played any Sheffield Shield innings in this manner he’s just switched personalities to the player he is at that level which is the only thing I’m slightly sceptical about, saw someone say just now he’s in danger of becoming a ‘meme’ at Test level.

Thanks kind of what I mean. It's almost like he's a plant to get media attention

Marnus to India's rescue.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Honeymoon with marnus is over. ****ing moron.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Thanks Rory

So not being able to control your aggression, playing ridiculous shots is acceptable for an Aussie test opener. What a stupid take. I must be Rory because I demand better. **** me of the stupidity

Can make an argument Marnus’ shot was worse than Konstas’

Yeah no Bumrah and we're throwing away wickets

Marnus trying to bat India back into the game.

Was a get out shot.

We have significant problems with most of our batting lineup.

The consistency has certainly vanished, he was ‘on’ in Melbourne and Adelaide but totally ‘off’ everywhere else this series

 

[Cromulant]

Game on

 

[Mr_Moogle]

What an epic choke from Smith.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Now we get nervous...

Head hasn't scored much in his last 3 innings.

 

[Cromulant]

What an epic choke from Smith.

An epic choke

There's poor takes and then there's this

 

[FR0GGY]

Imagine getting your 10000th run in Sri Lanka

 

[Crow54]

Why am I not surprised?

 

[Crow-eater]

Collapsing like this and Bumrah isn't even bowling.

Cooked.

Nah he choked. Piss poor way to get out.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Might not get picked.
