Konstas Is Going To Be A Long-term Player: Allan Border
The Sydney Morning Herald: Former Australia captain Allan Border believes young opener Sam Konstas has all the attributes to be a long-term player for the national side and equated his flurry of breathtaking shots against Jasprit Bumrah in Melbourne to how Ian Botham used to unleash his strokes over the hosts’ bowlers.
Konstas scored 60 off 65 balls on debut in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, and scooped Bumrah for fun in the early passage of play, leaving everyone enthralled. Though Bumrah took him out in the second innings, Konstas has left everyone in Australia excited about the player he can be in the future.
"If you look at that first day, India really had no answer. All of a sudden he put it to them and they really had no answer to that batting. Traditionally you have the field up for the new ball, so what do you do? You start spreading the field.
