What did he say?
Can't tell you exactly but he didn't shut up the whole time. He was relentless and repetitive.
I just don't think it was smart because that sort of behavior will quickly come back to bite him at some stage.
tbh I hope he doesn't change a bit. Must have been annoying as hell for the batsmen and looked like it contributed or played a part to some rash shots, which is what its all about. They dish it out just as much. Just that cameras are more focused on Konstas after his 1st dig 60, the Kholi incident, plus the crowd interaction.
Dont care that he is 19yo and on debut. Even more annoying for the opposition. If Sam is comfortable doing it with the blessing of our leadership group, especially when we are hunting for a win, then more of the same please. As long as he doesn't over step any boundaries. His batting will look after itself if he is good enough.
What will happen over time, he may be more selective who he chirps to , and how often. That will come with experience , as well as playing with other players from other nations (IPL). In the meantime let it rip Sammy..
If Cummins isn't going I wonder what out attack will be I doubt Starc and Hazelwood will be fit.
May have all 3 spinners over there playing along with Bowland and Richardson.
Starc has a great record in SL. Actually bowls best there than anywhere else statistically. Hopefully he will be fit . 3 weeks break after Sydney test, he should be ok. If India self destruct and we bat long, this test might not be as hard for the bowlers
Hazlewood might be a risk, but if it was a minor calf injury last time (not the side injury again) He could be fine to go. He would have had 6 weeks to get it right come the first test over there on 29/1
