19-year-old debutant hits blazing half-century as he takes on Jasprit Bumrah, doesn’t get intimidated by Virat Kohli’s shoulder charge.
“You can’t be who you can’t see. That’s the likely important effect on young Greek kids watching Sam Konstas. They too can dream big. If someone as young as him can play for Australia, it’s likely to have a positive spillover effect in the community,” Lee Tarlamis, the Greek-origin member of parliament in Victoria tells The Indian Express.
The 19-year old smashed the living daylights out of the Indians in an adrenaline-charged fifty that brought laughter and joy on the day after Christmas in the packed MCG crowd. In the middle of his knock, during a drinks break, Fox Sports spoke to him. “I will continue to target Bumrah, hope there is a round 2!” That’s the kind of confidence that the politician Tarlamis hopes rubs off on young Greek kids.
