In the five outings after his 65-ball 60 at MCG, he has mustered only 61 runs, putting his place in jeopardy. He was named in the eleven for the second Test against West Indies in Granada, but time is running out for him to cement his place in the eleven.But he has the sympathies of former Australian batsman Mike Hussey. “(Konstas) is still a very young player, he’s only 19. He's still trying to figure out his own game, at first-class level, let alone Test-match level in conditions that are so foreign to what he would be used to. I'm not sure he would have ever batted on pitches like what they’re getting in the West Indies,” he told Fox Cricket.
