‘Just Stop The Ramp Shot,’ Allan Border's Stark Warning For Konstas Ahead Of Ashes
Melbourne Cricket Ground: Former Australia captain and cricket legend Allan Border gave his blunt opinion on Sam Konstas' batting style and urged the youngster to stop the theatrics of playing ramp shots and concentrate on his technique if he wants a future in Test cricket.
The 20-year-old, who took the cricket world by storm last December when he scored a lively 60 off 65 balls on debut at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, has struggled for consistent form in recent months, leading to speculation he will not play a significant role in the upcoming Ashes series.
"Sam Konstas, I've only ever seen him play a ramp shot. Can he cover drive or anything like that? We just haven't seen anything but Konstas constantly trying to play this bloody ramp shot. It's a handy shot to have in the kit bag, but I’d be leaving it there for a while until I've got a few on the board," Border said on SENQ Breakfast.
