Play like a kid in the backyard, Cummins advises Sam Konstas

MELBOURNE: Australia desperately want someone to counter Jasprit Bumrah. India's pace spearhead has been running through their batting line-up for fun in the series and the hosts haven't really managed to get back at him in any way. It's one-way traffic of the scary kind.

So, despite opener Nathan McSweeney not doing much worse compared to Usman Khawaja, Australia dumped the former and brought in a 19-year-old whose belief and fearlessness sets him apart. Sam Konstas, all of 11 first-class matches old, backs himself – for he doesn't know what fear is yet, and against Bumrah that might be a good thing.
