Siraj to Khawaja, 3 runs, back of a length ball on off, Khawaja swivels across and pulls it nicely through mid-wicket. Sundar gives it a chase and slides near the fence to save a run for his side. Big side boundaries at the 'G so a lot of work for rthe

The kid is fearless - making the bowlers change their plans.

Bumrah to Khawaja, FOUR, lovely timing! Fractionally overpitched and swinging towards the pads, Khawaja gets into a good position and flicks it through backward square leg. Fine leg has no chance to stop it

It's getting him some runs, but I certainly don't like it.

Seems the Aussie selectors had some plans by playing this youngster.
Fearless is right. Heard the comms discussing him practising his 'scoop'
prior to Toss.smile
Refreshingly unconventional for a Test match and on debut too.

Pass time for a bouncer or two to him lol

Siraj to Sam Konstas, FOUR, shot! Shortish and wide, Sam Konstas cashes in. He stands tall and plays a cracking cut shot past backward point for a rocketing boundary. Hit that one with authority

This kid certainly has 'gumption'.

Don't think I like that impasse between him and Kohli though. Looks like he's the one who made the (deliberate) contact.

Siraj to Sam Konstas, 2 runs, fifty on debut for Konstas. What an incredible start! He points at the badge on his shirt with his bat and then waves his bat around to the MCG crowd. Nipping in from good length and Konstas gets a thick inside edge onto the pad, the ball rolls to square leg and the pair race back for the second

Jaiswal must be the youngest on the team to be placed at that field position.

He got to be, because he is certainly not the ugliest.
