At a time of Twenty20 and impactful innings of 20 balls or so, Sam Konstas has made hundreds his habit.
Any time a 19-year-old makes a Sheffield Shield century, many people stand up and take notice because it is so unexpected. When Sam Konstas did it on Tuesday, gliding to 152 for NSW against South Australia, they took notice because itKonstas made his first century for St George in the under-10s. When he was 15, he scored four tons in eight days across lower grade cricket in Sydney and the Green Shield under-16s competition.
Some time into that relationship, Konstas crossed paths with former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson, who at the time was aiming to share a renewed focus on mental skills in cricket. The trio have enjoyed productive union since, underlined by how Tahmi was at Cricket Central to see Konstas make his century, while Watson tuned into a stream from India to watch his pupil fly.
“For me with Sam there’s a genuine love of cricket and batting, which I’m not sure all kids have these days. But he certainly, every net he has, is like the first one of the year and he can’t wait to be there. He’s got a lot of confidence in his ability as well. “ made a 50 against him and a lot of the guys were saying how Billy was bowling fast, and when I asked Sam how it was, he just said ‘it was so much fun’,” Clark said.
