Sam Konstas dismissed early as NSW fights back in Sheffield Shield

·

Sam Konstas, fresh off his Test debut, struggled in the Sheffield Shield clash between New South Wales (NSW) and Queensland at the Gabba.

The 19-year-old, who had impressed with a bold 60 against India, was dismissed for just 3 off 33 balls. Konstas had taken 27 balls to score his first runs with a cover drive but was caught behind off Xavier Bartlett, unable to replicate his earlier aggressive style.

NSW were in dire straits at 39 for 5 in reply to Queensland’s 387, but a strong 143-run partnership between Jack Edwards (104 not out) and Matthew Gilkes (66) brought the visitors back into the contest, reaching 237 for 7 by stumps.

Konstas had hoped to prove he was more than just a flashy player after missing out on the second Test against Sri Lanka, but his brief innings on day two reflected the challenges of adapting to red-ball cricket.
