BGT 2024-25: Watching Konstas Bat Reminds Me Of Symonds, Says Hayden
Watching Sam Konstas: Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden marked the 18th anniversary of Andrew Symonds’ maiden Test century with a heartfelt post, drawing parallels to debutant Sam Konstas’ fearless innings against India in the ongoing Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Symonds’s 156-run knock at the MCG in 2006, a career-defining performance, remains etched in cricketing lore, and Hayden’s reflections highlighted the connection between that iconic moment and the rise of a new star in Konstas.
“18 years ago today, I batted at the MCG with my best mate wearing our baggy green caps for Australia. He made his first Test 100! Watching @samkonstas5 yesterday was exciting, just like I felt standing and watching Simmo batting,” Hayden posted on Instagram.
