Should Australia pick twin-ton teenager Konstas after just five First Class games?

New South Wales opener Sam Konstas is the talk of the cricket world after the 19-year-old notched Sheffield Shield centuries in both innings against South Australia in Sydney.

In just his fifth First Class game, Konstas peeled off 152 for his maiden First Class ton on Tuesday before backing that up with 105 in the second dig on Thursday at Cricket Central.

In scoring twin tons, Konstas becomes the third youngest player ever to do so in the same Sheffield Shield match, behind only Ricky Ponting in 1993 and Archie Jackson in 1928.

SEN Cricket’s Bharat Sundaresan loved watching the young right-hander bat against South Australia, being impressed by his temperament, timing and elegance.

“He just looks so easy on the eye, I mean, he’s just 19,” Sundaresan said on SEN Mornings.

“But if you look at him a few games into his career, he just looks like he has all the time in the world.

“He plays but both well playing against space and spin, he reminds me of a young Will Pucovski – who continues to be young, but he just has that lazy elegance, he plays the ball really late.

“I love the way he countered spin in both innings and especially the second innings where South Australia set defensive fields and they had Jordan Buckingham bowling wide outside off with a packed off-side field, but he showed the temperament and the patience to still find the gap and notch up his second ton.”

Even though it’d be a big risk to rush Konstas into the Australian side after just a handful of First Class games, Sundaresan thinks it’s a genuine option given he’s long been touted to be a future Test player by keen watchers and his peers alike.

The young star could be timing his run perfectly given a spot appears likely to open up in the top six with Cameron Green unlikely to play in the first Test against India next month due to a back injury.

“I won't talk about Michael Neser again, but like Neser potentially batting at number seven, which might sound like a radical move in an Australian context, throwing young Sam Konstas into open the batting (is another option),” Sundaresan said.

“Australia is looking for an opener it looks like for that India series, and it might seem a little extreme, but why not if he looks like he belongs to the level?

“Everyone who has seen him bat such as the players around him, his peers seem to think that he is made for the next level.

“Throw him into the deep end, let's see what he has.”

The first of five Tests between Australia and India begins on November 22 in Perth.
