Aus Coach McDonald Asks Critics For 'bit Of Patience' For Konstas To Find His Feet
Boxing Day Test: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has urged critics to show a bit of patience and time towards Sam Konstas’ performances, as the young opener is still adjusting to find his feet in Tests.
Konstas, who dazzled on his Test debut against India in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, earned a recall for Australia’s series opener against the West Indies at Kensington Oval, which the visitors won by 159 runs in three days. But Konstas had a lean time – making scores of three and five in tricky conditions for batting.
"He's debriefing that, and we've had some conversations around, if you're in that situation again, what does that look like? And that's what experience is; it's learning from previous events and trying to implement a way through that. It felt like he was stuck at times.
