- What a Boxing Day of Test cricket! Australia captain Pat Cummins won his first toss of the series, elected to bat and then it was the Sam Konstas show. Konstas made 60 from 65 on Test debut, ramping and lapping and charging India’s attack. Usman Khawaja made 57, Marnus Labuschagne 72 and Steve Smith 68 not out but Travis Head and Mitch Marsh missed out, preventing Australia from making a monster score in front of a record crowd of 87,242 at the MCG. Izzy Westbury and Mark Taylor break it all down and answer questions from the Secret Cricket Club.
UPDATE: Kohli has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee and awarded one demerit point for his contact with Konstas, according to reports.

I think a key point here for the lack of fear in the youngsters stepping up to the Test team is that if they do get out cheaply and only end up playing one Test it's not the end of being able to earn a really good living from Cricket with all the other T20 series round the world and shield. 10 years ago if you failed to cement a place in the Test side for a good few years it was almost impossible to make a proper living from the sport.
Izzie is absolutely world class. Pay her more
Ditto Mark Taylor
Hear hear ... I think she is a class apart instead ...love her mannerism and cadence
@@anthonysinclair4114 world class aus boot licker..never seen such biased commentary anywhere 🤮
Waiting for the 2nd innings of Konstas . He is playing T20 in test . Let's see what bumbrah will do in the 2nd innings.
He will again play t20 innings in the test🥰🥰🥰🥰.
@@Veritasium65let's see
Don't change your father too early
Nah. That was his plan i think. Attacking bumrah is the only way to survive. Rohit is a negetive captain he quickly removed kl to back point.
Bumrah will let the ball speak in 2nd innings…
Sad to see how virat’s last series is spanning out in Australia…
Walk the walk, talk the talk. e-coli wont perform, then lead is unsurmountable, no point in taking early cheap wickets. 😂. 350+ for Aus, telling you rn, don’t waste your time.
Izzy - quite a big fan of your commentary
Get Izzy on IPL broadcast team , her presentation skills are like sweet bourbon 🥃
Huge Respect and Fan from India 🇮🇳
Izzie is a *class' apart* .. absolutely adore her mannerism and cadence
I think Ricky Pointing should be rolemodel for all. He showed how a well behaved cricketer act. How motivating he was for 19 yr old Harbhajan
Did he shoulder charge that racist?
@ Of course it was to boost up that teen confidence. Also Harbhajan might have learnt racism from honorary Aussie spectators.
In this whole video, she never mentioned Ricky, however because you want to justify Virat, you are bringing Ricky
@ Even if what you say is correct, either both actions are wrong or both are justified. I only say this because for 10-20 years when no Indian players were chit chatting than everything was right and taken as their aggressive style, now when we give it back than all hell break loose
Ponting and most of the that generation Aussies have no right to talk about Kohli shoulder barging Konstas ..And I did hear Hayden talking about Siraj not supposed to be giving a sendoff to Head after that hundred and shld give him appreciation .I was amused .Out of all the generation of cricketers that generation was the biggest bully team in Aus and they have not right to tell whn India does it to aus .Talk about yourself first and then look into the opponents act .
Pure honest and lovely explanation of day ❤❤❤
Konstas...brash, brute and borderline stupid.
But he's 19 playing for Aus, and me at 39 eating popcorn on my couch.😅
Wow..where were english & aus when ponting did to 20 yr debutant harbhajan??
Aussie had finally figured out how to fix the opening issue plus handling Boom boom...
Congratulations❤
Firse dusri inning bachi ,watch out for him against bumrah 😂😂,har baar aisa nhi hone waala
Tubby: ""Now Sam, get your head down, watch the ball, play between the V, soft hands, wait for the loose ball". Sam:"👀''.
Kohli is looking to pick up a fight somewhere which will charge him . But these australians are smart 😂😂😂🎉
Willingly waiting for the video damn pure zaffa ❤
Too early to judge Konstas. If he got out trying to attempt the reverse scoop, the same guys would be just blasting him. Let's wait a few more matches before we can conclude how good he really is.
I Love you Izzy.... you are too good to my ears..❤
He just got 60 off 65 balls for Chrissakes. Good for him but don’t blow it out of proportion.
Numbers aren’t everything.
@ but they are something.
Agreed but it was a heartbreaker
You can just feel the frustration in Virat Kohli since the runs haven’t been flowing as consistently since the last 4-5 yrs. So what does he do shoulder barge a 19 yr old who just played an incredible debut innings in a Boxing Day test match??? Pretty unnecessary from him and he’s been doing such childish stuff all series tbh 👎👎👎
Lol....keep dreaming ...he is goat, it's just level 1 offence not like smith or Warner who caught cheating and still got away....keep the facts straight 😅
@tonymontanatv_ are u a new to cricket.. ? Do u understand how test cricket works? How we call a test?? If u don't know pls watch back 90's cricket than comment u talk like a muppet who don't have any cricketing knowlege just judging someone from your lil soft heart and outer appearance..🥴
@ You can sledge all you want but body contact nah. This ain’t wresting son jog ya buffon.
Bumrah conceded 18 runs in the next over. Kohli taunted Bairstow and he scored a century. Kohli should stick to scoring runs which he hasn’t done since post Covid
Yes. I am embarrassed about Kohli’s behaviour. Appalling behaviour
To play like konstas Mark Taylor will never be able to play like konstas in his entire career.
Mark Taylor was a boring player used to waste lot of deliveries to score a single run.
But konstas is an entertainer.
We want konstas type of player
2001. Michael Slater on face of Rahul Dravid. What happened there? Any fine? So Aussies should not be that disappointed. They are getting what they gave to Indians and other countries in cricket. Good job Kohli.
They never shoulder barged anyone or made physical contact
Yes
1. Walk the walk, talk the talk. 🤣, how hard is it to cope? Where’s the runs coming from e-coli’s bat in tests from 5 years?
@@jehanariyaratnam2874 100%
The words they said were more bitter than getting physical...
Lovely, well written!!
Amount of unfair play from us (Aussies) over the years including much worse physical assaults than Kohli did today, surprises me the reaction to it. He barely touched him. And there’s video that Konstas shouldered him first.
Our media personnel always like to make us out to be victims. Disappointing.
You make it sound cultural. Calling out Virat, not the Indian team. Did you not listen to what Tubby said? ICC code of conduct. Cricket is not football, otherwise, red card. BTW, name one physical assault by an Australian cricketer.
@ it is in our culture though? To get any edge we can to win. That involved sledging, physical contact & even cheating unfortunately with sandpaper gate. Why our media tries to play the victim when the players have disgraced us as a nation for years is beyond me. Own up to it instead of playing victims on tv.
Jhut kam bol. I watched it live, virat ran into him sideways. And australia was the most hated team in the world!. Criticised everywhere including india. Now when virat is getting criticism it should be allowed because australians were mean 15 years ago? Are you a joker with this whataboutisme
😂
@@_A.t.g Swearing at me in punjabi or hindi or whatever won't change the fact we as a nation have been disgusting and still are behaviour wise. Wasn't long ago we cheated to take wickets in the ashes. The fact you resort to using a different language shows i'm speaking the truth.
Oh and I've seen all your comments hating on Virat on other videos over the years. You don't even care about what he did, you have been badgering him and even making comments about his family for years.
who's that calf monster walking in the background?
This is the peak of test cricket!! This series is way exciting than even world cup.. I wont say india and Australia has saved test cricket but they have put it on the zenith of one of the most intersting and watched format of cricket ..
P.s. You guys are fantastic ..what an after match review.. I have to say australian media is soo profesional and good
Konstas has shown the world that Bumrah is mortal
Aussie cries when Indian players give it back. India must be a happy team at the end of the day 1.
The best shoulder charge in cricket is Symonds with the heckler.
Khammande khamande ooooo ooo oooooo ooo!!!!! Khammande khamande ooooo ooo !!!
I think that Australia are well and truly ahead in this game and the series after notching up over 300 runs in a day. I think that it is very unlikely that India comeback in this game. India hasn't scored over 200 in their first innings in around 75% of their matches in 2024. Today too they let the game drift away from them in the morning.The main issue is the failure of the top 5 to contribute collectively and regularly. India's top 3 doesn't really absorb pressure resulting in them losing half their side before 100. The Aussie bowlers are faster, taller and more accurate than their Indian counterparts.
Konstas' controlled aggression against Bumrah was a sight to behold and his intent has put Australia on the cusp of winning the series.
Don't forget how ricky ponting did with harbajan singh
then they are both disgraceful? i dont see the point of bringing up pointing. a 36 year old man should not be behaving like an ass to a 19 year old debutant. Sorry this was disgraceful from Kholi.
People criticised ponting and now they are doing so to virat. What's your point here dude? Next you'll say some Australian beat up an Indian so it's fine if virat punches australian players?
You are as frustrated as KOHLI 😂😂
atleast he didnt shoulder charge or was in contact with him.
So that was 20 years ago
Mark Taylor is Wagga Wagga's finest product.
Marnus labuschange is the huge batsman of the era. Great batsman 🐐🐐
Mark taylor looks handsome and class at his age.👏👏👏
It turned out to a BCCI decision.regardless unnecessary is outlawed.but it is Indian cricket we are playing
Konstas was bewildering. Should have avoided the bump.
These days T20 type of cricketers are mushrooming,but he will not be great success as he has some technical issues ,but on a first test this is a good nice knock ,bit lucky
How confident you are this Konstas performance has a repeatable predication?
Prefer mark taylor over brad haddin any day. Very insightful he is
All these risky shot games won't do justice for long term test career You may find Konstas a star for today as he bashed Bumrah. In future Game will bring him back for test mode or rest mode.
If Kohli gets punished India will appeal and threaten to boycott the tour and insist Australia apologize and Konstans (sorry about spelling) be punished. Thats the reality of modern cricket.
lol Tubby has got himself some new chompers 🤣
Izzie must be the most polite english lady on the earth at this moment😂❤
Wow what an innings. Beats Warners T20 debut
I wish match refree drops Kohli for Sydney and make indian selector's job easy.
And also on Konstas I won't be surprised if some Aussie commentator already declares 19 year old greater batsman than Sir Don 😂
Dont let the t20 style of cricket make Konsta out to be a great player be hes earned a stripe. Yes well played 60. But bat for a day and a half, score big scores over long periods. Thats test cricket. The art of test match cricket is near destroyed.
but sam plays at a strike rate of 52 in domestic and has a solid defence techniques.
@reality5357 100% agree, he looked good. But it's only 1 innings. Name one of the great openers in the last 10, 20 years that would be ramping the ball? Yes, the style of cricket has changed and these shots are used more and more, but boxing day test on debut? It gave me Glenn maxwell vibes. The class of ponting, slater, martyn have gone. In saying what I have, I'd actually like to see McSweeney and Konstas open for australia in the future. McSweeney's start to top level cricket reminds me of Phil Hughes
@@Matt-km8yw I too want mcsweeney to open after khwwaja's retirement.
I should not expect very much but as a fan think sam can be handy on sl tour too if avg score on turning pitches are 190-220 and he adds 40-60 runs quickly that will ease the pressure.
Today too he made things easier for khawaja
@@Matt-km8yw I don't think any opener in the world currently now has the patience to bat for half and a day
Few years back it was dean elgar, now it's khwaja only who can play so long
@reality5357 he didn't show tho he played specifically for 4th test BGT at MCG. He deliverered. He has a good upbringing in all forms as a young kid. He'll adjust and hopefully remain in selectors radar following this game..for his longevity of test cricket🏏
20% fine, that's just utter rubbish BCCI = ICC
We Indian are irritated by his rubbish and arrogant and disrespectful behaviour.
Really such a senior player with barking and gives send off to every players even to tailenders.
Well played Konstas.
My role model back in the Day was Ricky ponting 😂❤
Nobody is talking about umpires calls Aussies are using to save Smith 😅 new sandpaper or brain fade😅
What are u on about???😂😂😂 Umpires call is umpires call we've seen 2 appeals gone down leg😂😂 india will appeal everything
You've had all your luck with.umpires qt home then NZ battered u😂😂
Big IPL contract on the way for Sammy
Kholi, was guilty of ungentleman"s conduct.👍👍👍
King Kohli made that kid famous lol 😊😊😊
Virat Kohli thinks he’s bigger than the game. Well if he wants to be remembered by the cricketing world & his fans like this then so be it. Role model my a**
Not he thinks,he is
Well that is your opinion. You can have thta Fortunately for half of the World and cricket World that isn't true . Kohli is the role model
Kohli just did a Ponting from 25 years ago. If you think Ponting is a role model then surely Virat is much bigger role model in every way.
@ If Virat is a role model why copy him 25 yrs later 💀💀💀
We Indian are irritated by his rubbish and arrogant and disrespectful behaviour.
Really such a senior player with barking and gives send off to every players even to tailenders.
Pant-Konstas, similarities galore?
You guys are saying that as if first time only Virat Kohli made contact with player, I think you guys forgot the great Ricky Ponting[Captain] of Australia made the same f thing with young harbhajan Singh.
Hypocrisy???
Classic western privilege.
@@glyberajones4031 for your information harbhajan started the altercation first , you all are just giving the reference without looking at the scenarios.
You whinging Indians and your whataboutisms. Kohli was a classless moron in this situation. If you have a reasonable and logical point to make about that please try.
@andrewdawson3979 if you could spread some light over ponting behaviour when he used to cheat,sledge intimidate umpire and what he did by charging 19 yr old harbhajan now the table have turned when india has far more superior aggressive senior player who knows to give back.dont cry saying it was long time ago as no media pointed it out when it happened now all you do is cry 😭 cope when dealt with the same
@@PiAlphaSB nothing happened to ponting no media article by Aussie and Indian 💩 crying over it shame on you
this is not a test debut for sure.. let see if this guy survive and have an actual career.. McSweeny would survive and thrive .. poor guy got tough conditions
Kohli and Siraj are just bullies. Rohit is just too lazy for test cricket.
We need some aggression. However that aggression should not be stupid and that is what Virat did today unnecessary.
Sundar can score more than subman gill.
Subman gill is worst player.
Keep Izzy.
Kohli the king makes match interesting 😂😂
Well done Kohli!
For what?😂
Konstas is lucky enough to survive first 2 overs……. I don’t think he will survive in second innings agianst bumrah when ball starts movings…..
Virat Kohli is behaving like a typical loser, hats off to Sam Konstas
This guy was just lucky. Doesnt work always. Its just like bazball.
Not the first guy trying to play t20 in test. It fails more often than it works. Specially with the new ball.
Even Head is able to do that mostly with old ball
Lockdown kid go and watch sehwag Hayden and not much long ago warner and first make yourself capable to do smth instead of being jealous of others cope harder
And talking of bazzball brook plays it and average 58 in test Duckett plays it average 40 as opener and root himself plays ramp shots and thats guy is among top 5 highest test scorer
@verger23 lol. No I wont start playing international cricket before commenting on it🤣
I have seen many innings of sehwag and hayden. Both played there first international match long after I started watching cricket. Never saw Both of them playing scoops against new ball. Hayden wasn't even that agreesive in test cricket. His Sr is just 60.
Playing agressive cricket is one thing but I'm talking about playing high risk manufactured shots. Those work in t20 cuz Sr is all that matters. Just work on your game awareness so I don't need to spell out everything to you.
Lastly this guy hasn't done anything in cricket yet to make me jealous of him. India has ton of players like him who can play super agressive cricket. One of them named jaiswal is already playing but the team management is asking him to be more patient instead of being more agressive. There is a reason for that which is obvious to anyone who understands cricket.
@verger23 brook and root are not openers so not relevant to this discussion. Anyway root is not what he is cuz of lap shot🤣
Duckett plays agressive cricket and has limited success cuz of the same. But again he is not manufacturing shots. He is playing conventional cricket. Just being agressive.
I'm simply saying most of the success this guy got today was by manufacturing shots. Those shots are risky against new ball for any batter so he won't find much success in every match if he relies on them. These things work on your day but fail on most days.
Not sure what's confusing you.
It is only his first inning, let the kid play and not overhype him as the solution to the whole fk up with the Aussie batting lineup. Btw absolute blasphemy to say Bazball to take credit for anything. A “style” of cricket named after a kiwi coach won fk all as a player, and with 50% winning record as a coach.
Kholi just returning the favour to australia. Stop winning 😂
Aussies got the same medicine, why they are now behaving … they are ball tampering guys 😂😂😂😂
What rubbish don’t save Kohli
His pathetic behaviour and disrespect for other player
He barks on the field from last 5yrs
I am an Indian cricket fan but this Indian team is full of selfish players period
How dumb is the charge of shoulder charge. The footage shows that Kohli is clearly off the pitch and in fact well away from it. Konstas is away from the pitch edge and while he is walking he looks down at his gloves and heads directly into Kohli. Racially biased commentators will be quick to blame an Indian player. It was by no means a shoulder charge. I am surprised at your open racial bias.
Racial 😂😂😂😂 you've lost it
Support fully virat, don't talk unnecessary about virat.
Virat is not a great after what he did today… his parenting may be his problem… guess so…
Look what RACIST Australian media talking about kohli, What happened to all Australian players who behaved Rowdy on ground they (Media) never said any thing about them do they.
I'm a Pakistani and I do admire Kohli but he disgraced himself by bumping into a 19 year old debutant! Konstas wasn't suppose to lead as a debutant but he did and what a treat it was to see a promising young talent expressing himself with such authority and that too against a deadly number one bowler! So the sun sets with a rising star in Konstas! 🤩
Kohli and India don’t seek your validation
In 2nd innings Konstas score 0 (duck) ensure this. and mark my name. His attitude against India is casual but India take revenge. And he struggle the Sydney test match also.
Is this your prediction... what a load of drivel m8... sounds like a 19yr old has gotten the better of you just like Virat
If he doesn't delete every social media app and watch matches on telivision only.
Kohli is at fault with a young debutant
Virat kohli may be demigod.But what iswrong is wrong and to be punished.why so much fuss about this episode.He should rather stand up and deliver.Or he should pick up education when to quit and do not become a liability from the Aussies.
Media going gaga on Sam. How come a reckless, lucky 60 creates a cricket star. Aussies so desperate for a star? Didnt see a single classy, non slog boundry from him. Time will tell of his quality in Tests. Tubby by your logic of fearlessness and bazzball, tail end sloggers are fearless, rising batting stars as well!!
cry more?
@@andrewdawson3979like your father 😂
@@andrewdawson3979how does making a 60 make anyone cry. Lets not make him a star yet! What was disturbing honestly was Kohli's stroll trajectory.
Virat Kohli should have been banned for SCG test. Sad to see Virat Kohli going the Ricky Pointing way of playing filthy immoral cricket.
India 200 allout, 5 batters 😂 rohit kohli out of form
Racism and sand paper are good right..!!😅
They are very biased commentators😂😂😂😂
Those who are blaming Kohli should know that
THAT’S HOW GRAVITY WORKS IN AUSTRALIA
Kohli did an ugly Ponting.
Australians talking about morality is like wild foxes advocating to be vegeterian.
1. Vegetarian* 2. How many domesticated foxes are you coming across? 3. Foxes don’t advocate for anything: they’re foxes. 4. Indians prefer whataboutism to admitting they were wrong. It shows a lack of character.
Virat is very arrogant and disrespectful to other plus
He is batting rubbish
i never imagined that they are hyping 60 run inning like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gill or Robit would make 30 runs and you'd hype like that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmaooo aus teaching us lessons on crossing the line.Whattay joke!!😂😂 good going virat
Indians doctored pitches 😂😂 guess we're the same babe😂
