Sam Konstas is good enough: Pat Cummins backs Australia opener to bounce back
Australian captain Pat Cummins took time out to publicly back young opener Sam Konstas, reinforcing the leadership group's faith in the rising talent despite a modest start to his Test Konstas made an impressive Test debut against India, scoring 60 off 65 balls in his first innings. Since then, the 19-year-old has struggled for consistency, with scores of 8, 23, 22, 3, 5, 25, and 0 in his next seven innings. In the ongoing three-match Test series in the West Indies, Konstas has scored just 33 runs in four innings, averaging has yet to cross the 50-run mark in his first two Tests, even as Australia surged to a commanding 133-run victory in the second match to seal a 2-0 lead in the three-match series against the West Indies. The 20-year-old showed glimpses of promise during his early outings in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but hasn't quite lit up the scoreboard in this series. However, Cummins' post-match remarks made one thing clear: the dressing room is standing firmly behind the young batter."Look, he's been good," Cummins said when asked about Konstas' performances. "I think for anyone who's starting out their Test career, you are kind of picked for a reason we know he's good enough."It was a clear message from the skipper - selection for the Baggy Green is no fluke, and success in international cricket requires patience, both from the player and those around who endured a rocky start to his own Test journey due to injuries, empathised with the mental challenges of trying to prove yourself at the highest level."For someone like a batter, it might be, where are your scoring areas, what tempo do you normally operate at your best - and don't get too caught up in every innings feeling like the biggest thing in the world," he the high-pressure environment of Test cricket - especially in the social media age - Cummins' grounded perspective serves as timely reassurance for Konstas and other newcomers still finding their Australian captain also reminded everyone that even the greats go through lean patches: "Even the best batters in the world don't hit their average three out of four times."- EndsYou May Also Like

Pat Cummins' baggy green vanishes mysteriously right after Australia skipper ditches deep-rooted 'cap' tradition
Australia captain Pat Cummins has found himself in an unusual off-field predicament during the ongoing Test series against the West Indies. In what appears to be a case of unfortunate timing and baffling mystery, Cummins' brand-new Baggy Green cap, a cherished emblem of Australian Test cricket, reportedly went missing just hours before the series opener in Barbados. Australia's Pat Cummins reacts during the WTC Final earlier this month(Action Images via Reuters) Cummins had arrived for a pre-series photoshoot alongside West Indies captain Roston Chase, sporting the new cap, which he had chosen to debut instead of repairing his original one from 2011. That original cap, issued to him ahead of his Test debut against South Africa, had endured years of wear and weather, prompting the skipper to seek a fresh start with a new Albion-made version, one of the last manufactured before the cap-making rights shifted to Kookaburra in 2016. Cummins' act of getting a new baggy green was also seen as a break of tradition in Australian cricket. Several former greats, including Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, and David Warner, chose to wear their original Baggy Green caps throughout their careers, embracing the wear and tear as a mark of pride. However, according to a report from The Daily Telegraph, Cummins' new cap vanished sometime between the team photo session and the toss. With no trace of it found, the Aussie skipper was left with no option but to pull out his old, worn-out Baggy Green, the same cap he had decided to retire, for the opening Test. It was this weathered cap that sat atop his head as he led Australia to a commanding 159-run victory at Kensington Oval. Cummins' performances intact Wardrobe hiccup aside, Cummins continued to deliver on the field. The pacer claimed three wickets in the match, supporting Josh Hazlewood, who bagged a five-wicket haul in the second innings to dismantle the West Indies lineup. Interestingly, Cummins isn't the only Australian player to experience such a loss. David Warner had previously made a public plea on social media when his own Baggy Green went missing last year after his luggage was stolen. Similarly, cricketing great Greg Chappell once appealed to the public after his cap vanished from a Brisbane storage unit.
