Shane Warne's son Jackson is certain his father would have loved every minute of Sam Konstas's unforgettable Boxing Day debut.

The 19-year-old stunned the MCG crowd, including those seated in the Shane Warne Stand, with an innings that will go down in Australian cricket folklore.

When you think of classic cricket moments at the MCG, the legendary legspinner's 700th Test wicket in 2006, and his hat-trick in 1994 immediately come to mind.

Konstas might have made only 60, but the way he attacked Jasprit Bumrah - the world's No.1 ranked bowler - with ramp shots made sure the knock will sit alongside some of the most memorable at the ground.

"Seeing the ramp shots, reverse ramp shots, you were sort of watching with not knowing what was going to happen next," Jackson said.

"A bit like when dad used to bowl, you never knew if it was going to be the flipper, wrong-un. It makes every ball exciting.

"When you were watching Konstas, every ball was exciting because you don't know what he's going to do.

"I think it's so cool to see somebody at such a young age on the biggest stage, a Boxing Day Test, a debut.

"To actually try some of the hardest shots in cricket was pretty cool."

Warne was known for his attacking flair, continuing to try and dismiss batsmen even when they were hitting him for runs.

Konstas had to overcome some early setbacks, including playing and missing four of his first six deliveries from Bumrah, before launching the third fastest 50 by an Australian on Test debut.

"(Shane) would have said, keep going. Don't give up," Jackson said.

"But if he'd (Konstas) gotten out, then he would have looked a bit silly.

"But he pulled it off, so it's OK."

Saturday will mark the 30th anniversary of Warne's only international hat-trick - the first bowler in 91 years to achieve the feat in an Ashes Test.

Almost three years after his sudden death, Warne's memory remains present for the biggest Test of the Australian summer.

Fans are able to take a free Shane Warne Legacy health check during every day of the Boxing Day Test.

Fifty-two stations are located in and around the MCG, available for anyone to use.

"It's given us a new purpose to what the Boxing Day Test is and what it feels like to us," Jackson said.

"Boxing Day was the day after Christmas, dad's off working, and now it is walking through, seeing his statue, looking at his stand, and then talking to people about their Shane Warne memory, and also now having these free health checks."
