CRICKET is the main topic of conversation at the dinner table in the Konstas household.
Twins Sammy and Johnny, 10, and sibling, Billy, 14, are young cricketers with loads of talent at Kingsgrove Cricket Club.
The trio also plays representative cricket with Georges River District St George Cricket Association.
Although they are in different teams, they follow each closely, watching one another's games.
Blood is thicker than water, and the Konstas clan are certainly testimony to this.
The family that plays cricket together bonds like super glue.
Recently, Billy played for City South Sharks at the NSW Metro State Challenge at Dubbo.
The twins travelled 400 kilometres to Dubbo and Glen McGrath's home town of Narromine to watch their older brother play.
The boys hone their craft in the backyard of their Hurstville home.
Batting, bowling and fielding in the backyard is done with the intensity of a Test match.
Sam and Johnny play for the association's under-10s Foster Shield team, and Billy for the under-13s Gee Shield.
At junior level so far this season Billy has scored 165 runs, averaging 82.5, including two half- centuries and five wickets with the ball.
Sam has scored 357 runs, averaging 178.5, reeling off five half centuries, and has taken 14 wickets with the ball.
Johnny's batting aggregate is 136 runs, averaging 22.7 and he has taken five wickets bowling.
Is this the start of a new cricketing dynasty for St George?
