Young gun Konstas dazzles in maiden Shield ton | Sheffield Shield 2024-25

[@markwhelan9887]

His ability to see the ball and get his feet set and his technique is exemplary them cover drives were text book maybe the best form with the bat I've had the pleasure of watching this early in his career. Keep up the fantastic work young man. The Greek freak....

[@pbfamous07]

one of the cleanest techniques since Jacques or Junior. his head and entire body is so still and balanced at point of contact. epic eye for the ball to be that still. Usman i'd be getting to know this bloke pretty quick sticks.

Has a little Damien Martin about him as well I thought

[@faisalkhan5539]

ali raza owns him bruh

[@theconversation.]

No movement, head eye coordination, balanced in feet, quick acceleration of the bat.. This youngin going places

[@AbhishekSingh-jf7co]

He is basically Rohit Sharma 2.0, but a more improved version of rohit as he has more shots to play then rohit sharma, he stands like rohit and plays pull shots to sixes like rohit

[@RickyPro888]

Exceptional innings. After seeing this and how he played at the u19 world cup, the sky is the limit

[@poo-tinthedwarfbunkerb1tch535]

he was literally one of the worst baters in the u19 wc, tf are you on about?

[@OmPrakashLamsal-x3q]

Ohh some player! There are only few players you feel is someone special at a young age even when you see them score 20/30 runs. The balance, timing and placement apart from that one streaky four looks perfect. One for the future. I never believed Pucovski looked excellent with his shots the way everyone appreciated or talked about. He always had issue against short balls and bouncers and there was no way he was going to succeed with a clear loophole. This kid looks perfect. Excellent with drives, excellent against short balls and has mentality to bat long. Too early but even with the timing and shot selection on this one, get this kid a place in Australian XI for test as an opener alongside Ussy Khawaja. Ussy and Him to open Smith at middle Head at 5 Webster at 6 is what we need

[@melanpercil4145]

He is the goods. I know its easy to hype batsmen but the talent is obviously there. Cant pick Bancroft or Harris ahead of this kid surely!

[@akashkhande6957]

His cover drive treat to watch 👌

[@ThatguyJack-lu7nt]

2 in 2 innings, WOW

[@SayanGhosh-v9j]

Sam Konstas should open with Usman Khawaja in upcoming BGT ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Woodbug-b7t]

Absolutely.

He will take the place of Khawaja in future

I think they just saw your comment mate! He has been called up for remainder of the series!

Just like that...he is Called!

[@anandazm5954]

Best wishes Sam❤❤ 100+ ❤❤

[@sentimentalbloke185]

Nice shot making, stylish, gives it the full blade but the wicket was benign & the attack was just average. Need to see him in more testing circumstances.

[@WarriorsSon]

Some terrible balls ,but placement and style is next level. The next 2-3 years are going to tell a tale. Lots of slog sweeps and cover drives. They will be able to contain him if he can't become more of a 360 degree player. But ,yes this is 19 years old ,and 2 first class centuries do not happen much as a teenager. Well done young man.

[@melanpercil4145]

There were pull shots too.

[@muhammadshaheer3741]

not ready to face bumrah and shami

[@Sharafat56]

Well come to test squad against India

[@kiklocus4660]

he is only gonna get better

[@Himanshu-w4b7r]

If Green won't be available. He must be in Squad.

[@walkabouttrek6718]

He'll easily score over 8000 test runs at over 50. My guess is his final Test career average will be 51.24. Let's see how close I come!

[@Coolmathsadmin]

a young nsw batsman that scored his first ton? I'm sure he's close to being pick in the Australian team

[@godgamer9680]

Who is here after century in warm up match vs india?

[@Zampa1233]

Next big thing🎉

[@nick_adams672]

made it look easy

[@Woodbug-b7t]

Seems Cummins was right; Warner is not required, Konstas can open for Australia.

[@Marcburg21]

The next Bradman.

[@markdowse3572]

Gee, those drives through cover are a thing of beauty! 😍 The pull shots were pretty impressive too! 😁 NSW and CA must take the best care of him. M 🦘🏏😎

From NSW, I’m sure the baggy green in a paper bag has been already delivered.

Hi

[@baroncorvo3813]

He'll be fine if Bumrah and Shami bowl a stream of half-volleys and long-hops.

[@Scottus-q8l]

Give the young man a break. It's a 3 minute highlights reel. Chances are that you'll see some good shots against bad balls.
