With two Australian selectors watching, Sam Konstas lasted just 10 balls, but has reason to query his dismissal.
Australia’s selection panel has three members. It said much for the importance of this day, when Sam Konstas auditioned for a possible Test call-up against the proven Scott Boland, that two of them were at the MCG on Monday.
For Konstas, the audition was startlingly short. His first ball from Boland beat the edge and shaved narrowly past the off stump, almost as if to say “welcome to the big time, Sam”. Another delivery was edged short of the slips cordon. Umpires have, in the DRS era, become less conservative about judging how often the ball would have gone down the leg side. As was the case so often with Watson, this one would most certainly have drawn a review had the facility been available.Plenty of hype accompanied Konstas to the middle.
