The Sydney Morning Herald: Former Australia pacer Geoff Lawson said Sam Konstas’ knock of 88 against Western Australia, coming under overcast skies on a greenish Sydney pitch in this year’s Sheffield Shield, convinced him that the young opener is ready to play Tests for Australia.
On Friday, Konstas’ was given a call-up to Australia Test team for the fourth and fifth Tests against India at the expense of Nathan McSweeney. Konstas shot into limelight by scoring twin centuries against South Australia in the opening round of Sheffield Shield.
Those twin centuries also earned him the distinction of being the first teenager to achieve this feat in the Sheffield Shield since the legendary Ricky Ponting did so in 1993. Before the knock of 88, Konstas also hit a century against India in the pink-ball practice game at Canberra, apart from making 73 not out against India A at Melbourne.
