Cricketer Sam Konstas delivered a stunning performance for New South Wales, scoring 116 off 98 balls against Queensland in a domestic one-day match on Thursday, February 13.
Konstas’ efforts weren’t enough to secure victory though, as NSW fell 54 runs short in their chase of 311 at Allan Border Field.
Despite struggling with cramps, 19-year-old Konstas anchored the innings with 13 fours and three sixes before being dismissed in the 40th over.
His knock has reignited debate among cricket fans, with many questioning why he was left out of Australia’s squads for the Sri Lanka Test and ODI series.
After Australia’s recent struggles, including a 49-run loss to Sri Lanka, fans took to social media to argue that Konstas should have been selected over Matt Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk.
Konstas, however, remains focused on scoring runs and earning another national team opportunity.
“It’s pretty simple. I enjoy playing every time I play and get the opportunity,” he said.
“I haven’t thought too far ahead with my goals, just to be in the moment and try to win games for whatever team I play for.”
