Labuschagne, Head Or Konstas Could Be Next 10,000-run Aussie Batter, Opines Smith
The Sydney Morning Herald: Australian batting maestro Steve Smith, who etched his name among the all-time greats by becoming the fourth Australian to reach 10,000 Test runs, has stated that one of the batters from Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head, and young prodigy Sam Konstas could be the fifth Australian to reach the milestone.
The 35-year-old on Wednesday joined Allan Border, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting as the fourth Australian to score the 10000 Test runs. Overall, he became just the 15th player to pass 10,000 men's Test runs.
“It’s a good question. I think there’s a few people that can certainly tick it off. Marnus (Labuschagne) is about halfway there. Travis (Head) potentially. (Sam) Konstas is 19 and he could play for a long, long time potentially," Smith told The Sydney Morning Herald.
