Australian cricket’s newest star Sam Konstas went about changing the course of the Border-Gavaskar series with an instantly iconic Boxing Day debut at the MCG. What will unfold on day two?
Sam Konstas has given a fascinating insight into his exhilarating debut Test innings, in an interview with Channel 7 pundit and former fast bowler Trent Copeland before play on day two of the Boxing Day Test.
Konstas, who made 60 from 65 balls, was a study in concentration as he faced up to the Indian quicks, his crooked squint quickly becoming a trademark that will likely be copied in backyards and on beaches around Australia this summer. The pair made the most of their opportunity to play Test cricket amid a long list of injured bowlers and emphasised the country’s long tradition of producing quality quicks.
Bosch and Paterson were the change bowlers for South Africa, whose all-seam attack against Pakistan was spearheaded by regulars Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen but who were overshadowed by Bosch and Paterson.In a statement on Thursday night, the International Cricket Council announced that Kohli would be fined 20 per cent of his match fee and penalised one demerit point for breaching the code of conduct.
