Cameron Green.

[Donny]

Perhaps Alex Carey should be the #6 for a while, as Cummins and Starc are pretty capable batsmen, at 8 & 9.

I'd not be too concerned about his batting form, if he keeps claiming the likes of Joe Root and Ben Stokes, when bowling.

Oh, and already snapping up good catches, in the gully.

Perhaps Alex Carey should be the #6 for a while, ...

Yes, that's an idea. Sadly, Carey has been batting poorly...

Another failure in the first innings for Green. But a big opportunity now on a pitch that's still good for batting.

Green is so much better when he stops thinking about defense and just plays the game. Once he got his rhythm he was really good.

This kid will be a star with bat and ball for a long time.

Green 74 (122), 7 4s, one 6; 179-run partnership with Khawaja after FTB was clean bowled by Leach.

Oz's last great batsman, Ricky Ponting, said this innings will do Green a lotta good, although they were "relatively easy" runs.

He’ll likely be the best all-rounder in the World by the end of 2022.

Nice ball from Green to bowl Crawley today.

G. Chappell:

"... Cameron Green is full of promise, but will need to fulfil that with the bat sooner rather than later, for his own peace of mind. As an aside, while I can’t blame him for taking the money on offer from the IPL, I wonder whether it is a good career choice for his development as a batsman? It will put a lot of pressure on his young body with virtually non-stop cricket coming up.

Mitch Marsh made a similar choice early in his career and has yet to realise his potential as an explosive middle-order player who could bowl some quality overs in Test cricket. Glenn Maxwell is another whose enormous Test batting potential has remained unfulfilled due to the demands and effects of T20 cricket."

Pretty amazing if they play Green as a specialist batsman (as Cummins said).

Would show a lotta faith in him.

Nah, let's dig Renshaw and Handscombe out of the graveyard instead!
And Head can have spell too [about as smart as dropping Nick Daicos...]

Renshaw i'd like to see opening, but not middle order.
Handscombe did well, all things considered, upon his recall.

But Green is seemingly irreplaceable now.

Yep. When completely fit - to bat, bowl and snaffle catches in the gully - he's a lock, at #6.

Interesting thought - have you seen Daicos bat?

I have seen him occupy the centre square and caress the ball to all parts of the ground
