Konstas played his part well IMO. He saw an opportunity to take an over off India and it worked. Unfortunately Khawaja couldn't survive the final ball of the day.

Other issues with Konstas for sure but that was smart thinking from him.

Any way you dice it, the kid is going to provoke divided opinion for a decade, at least.....not a bad thing for Test Cricket.

I think this BGT should be it. Scored f**k all. They sacrificed an up n comer, thrown in another up n comer, and at least Labs got some runs and Head and Smith have tons. Bison was only cover for Green. Let’s see how Webby bats now but I think we can make some transitions this year.

Talking about Greeks, a mate of mine of Indian heritage once travelled down to Melbourne. The cabby asks him if he’s Greek.

my mate laughs and says ‘do I look Greek?’

The cabby proceeds to tell him when Alexander the Great got to India, he f**ked so many women there, 1 in 10 Indians had Greek heritage. lol

Plus we need opener cover anyway, so Head on turning decks makes sense as a temp measure. Green into 5, McSweeney and Webster to play 6 depending which the side needs. McSweeney is a good player of spin in Aus at least, and maybe a few knocks in the middle order might get him comfortable at Test level if they want to try him as an opening option again.

I think we go to the Windies after that?

Head opened in 2023 against India over there not sure what his figures were though
