BGT: Watched Bumrah Quite A Bit, But Just Trying To Be In The Moment, Says Konstas
Boxing Day Test: Uncapped Australian opener Sam Konstas said he does have a plan for countering India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah if selected for playing the upcoming Boxing Day Test starting on Thursday.
But at the same time, Konstas insisted on being present in the current moment – of being at the MCG with the Australian Test team. Konstas, 19, was called into the Australia Test squad for last two games against India at the expense of Nathan McSweeney.
The expectation from Konstas is for him to be a more aggressive partner for veteran opener Usman Khawaja. “I do but I’m not going to say what it is, but (I will) just be trying to put pressure back onto the bowlers. They are all very good bowlers.”
