The Australian Sam Constas leaves the field after its release on the day one of the third test cricket match against West India in Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday, July 12, 2025. Sam Constas, 19 -year -old Australian selection of shifts on West Indies, saw his campaign turning into a nightmare, and the young man set an undesirable record. Its catastrophic appearance makes it an Australian opener with the lowest diameter of batting in the Caribbean since 1984.Constas, which was brought to the opening of the place of Marnus Labuschagne, started his test career with promises and recorded half a century debut against India at McG. But his numbers against Western India were extremely poor. In six shifts, he managed only 50 runs on average 8.33, ending with a five ball of duck in his last trip when Shamar Joseph released him.Australia, although 2-0 in a row of three matches and maintain the upper hand in the ongoing daily test at night in Sabina Park, has reasons for concern. The Constasian struggles against moving balls and conditions friendly to the pace left a large question mark over the opening slot in front of the ashes at the end of this year.

Should Sam Constas be replaced as an opener for the remaining test matches?
Constas now joins the unfortunate list with only Alec Bannerman, Rick Darlim, Wayn Phillips and Keith Stackpole as a dough that recorded fewer runs as opening in a series than its 50.But everything was not bad for a teenager. Despite his battle with the bat, the constant impressed the field and pointed sharp reflexes to release Justin Greaves over running 2. His almost perfect throw from the border helped to release Greaves when he tried three times.
