[VIDEOS] Western Australian all-rounder Cameron Green

[therealAB]

Just scored 185* in the Shield - Going to be a fantastic player

==


Western Australian allrounder Cameron Green has continued his meteoric rise, scoring his fourth Sheffield Shield century in 12 months on day three against New South Wales.

The 21-year-old prodigy batted for the entire day to surpass his previous highest first-class score of 158 not out, reaching stumps unbeaten on 185.

Green’s ability to bat time is again proving his greatest asset, surviving a lengthy bumper barrage to guide WA to 7-436, trailing New South Wales’ first innings score by just seven runs.

No batsman in world cricket has scored more centuries in the past year than the Subiaco-Floreat product’s four.

Green started the day’s play on 31 and was applauded off the field by the Blues after adding 154 runs to his individual tally across the three sessions.

The youngster’s milestone followed in the footsteps of opener Sam Whiteman, who scored his fifth first-class century before lunch as the pair combined for a 174-run third-wicket stand.

It’s the fifth time Whiteman has passed 50 in his last seven innings, including 110 against Queensland in their final red-ball fixture last season.

The left-hander started day three on 81 as he and rising star Cameron Green built on their strong third-wicket partnership, which was coincidentally worth 81-runs overnight.

Good luck to him. As with any other Australian international, the challenge is to score runs outside of December and January every year.

 

[angrypathan]

Boy is a gun. Hope he recovers from the back injury and is back to bowling again soon.

 

[MenInG]

As if the clamour for gun youngster Cameron Green to earn elevation to Australia's Test squad isn't sufficiently loud, he has confirmed he plans to return to the bowling crease for Western Australia in coming weeks.

Green has been touted as a future Test player almost from the time he claimed a five-wicket bag as a teenager against Tasmania in his Marsh Sheffield Shield debut four seasons ago.

That was before his batting talents fully revealed themselves but, having been prevented from bowling for the past year due to stress fractures in his lower back, he has shown himself to be one of the most exciting runs-scoring talents in Australian cricket.

But in the immediate wake of his career-high 197 scored against a near international-strength New South Wales attack in Adelaide this week, Green revealed he hopes to back and bowling at close to top pace for WA in their next game.

And if he's deemed to be not quite ready to take the ball in that match, scheduled to begin against Tasmania next week, then it will be the following fixture in early November.

"Potentially this (coming) game or the next game, depending on how the next seven days ago," Green said tonight when asked when he was likely to bowl again in match conditions.

"We've got a couple of training sessions, so I'll bowl a couple of times and we'll see how that's progressing.

"There's a lot of things I'm working on – getting my body right, getting a bit of strength and better conditioning in my body.

"I haven't actually bowled too many overs the last few years, so just trying to get my workloads up.

"And definitely there's quite a bit of technical stuff, so hopefully all that will come together over the next few weeks and hopefully I can bowl a few overs during the next couple of games."

Regardless of what the coming week of training produces, Green is adamant he won't be easing back into his craft.

A genuine fast bowler who shared the new ball with Simon Mackin in his second season at Shield level, Green concedes his prolonged absence from the bowling crease will ensure he is used in tightly controlled spells to minimise risk of further injury.

But the 199cm tall right-armer won't hold anything back when given the go ahead to resume, which means the allrounder adds significant depth to WA's already strong seam bowling stocks.

And it only enhances his appeal to national selectors who are expected to name a larger-than-usual squad for the four-match Vodafone Test Series against India due to the travel restrictions and need for on-hand replacement players during the COVID19 pandemic.

"I won't be bowling 40 or 50 overs, it might just be five or 10 here and there to help the captain out if he needs," Green said of his imminent return to bowling.

"But I won't be bowling half-pace.

"If I'm bowling, it will be at full intensity."

As predictable as the hype surrounding the 21-year-old's daunting talent is the age-old query thrown at budding allrounders – does he see himself as a bowler who bats, or a specialist batter happy to contribute a few overs now and then if needed?

As a result of his back injury, Green has been compelled to focus on one skills-set almost to the exclusion of the other.

And he can point to more than 700 Shield runs at an average of 65 since he last bowled in first-class cricket a year ago as evidence he justifies selection as a top-order batter alone.

But he is adamant he wants to remain an allrounder, a decision that won endorsement from NSW skipper Peter Nevill who faced the young quick when Green played his third Shield game in 2017 and watched from behind the stumps as he came within one strike of a double-ton this week.

"I recall facing him a few years ago when he was bowling and thinking what an outstanding bowling talent he was," Nevill said today.

"So to see him do this with the bat as well is an exciting prospect, but you don't want to bump too much on young shoulders and put too much expectation on him.

"But it was as very special innings and I think he'll be a pretty special player."

In much the same way he handled Blues' bowlers Trent Copeland, Sean Abbott, Harry Conway and Nathan Lyon with aplomb during his 438-ball innings at Gladys Elphick Park, Green saw the question about his preferred skills-set early and dispatched it with nonchalance.

"I've never really seen one over the other," he said.

"As a junior, you just want to do everything when you play cricket so when I was coming through I just wanted to bat and bowl and it's probably the same mindset here.

"So if the bowling comes around, I can't wait to do it again."

Highly rated young all-rounder Cameron Green was Thursday included in Australia's squad for their white-ball series against India, while Moises Henriques earned a recall. Green, 21, was a surprise inclusion for three ODIs and three Twenty20s starting next month, with his call-up following a classy 197 in the domestic Sheffield Shield last week. The knock saw Greg Chappell describe him as the best he had seen since Ricky Ponting. "Cameron's domestic form has been outstanding and he has carried it through for Western Australia this summer," said national selector Trevor Hohns.

"As a potential player of the future this is an opportunity for him to be part of the squad and build on his experience."

Henriques was also a head-turner, brought in as an all-rounder to replace Mitchell Marsh, who picked up an ankle injury in the Indian Premier League.

He played his last one-dayer and T20 for Australia in 2017, but was prolific last season for the Sydney Sixers as they won the Big Bash League.

"Moises is a tremendous cricketer with loads of experience and is a great person to have around the group," said Hohns.

"His form was extremely impressive in leading the Sixers to the BBL title last summer and he has played well at the start of this season."

Spinner Nathan Lyon is a high-profile omission from the big touring party Australia took to England in September.

Adam Zampa was preferred, with Lyon being saved for Australia's four Test series against India that follows the white-ball games. The Test squad is yet to be announced.

"The entire squad performed exceptionally well in the UK in beating the current one-day world champions at home and retaining the world number one ranking in T20 international cricket," said Hohns.

"We look forward to a blockbuster summer against one of our greatest rivals."

Coronavirus pandemic permitting, India's squad will arrive in Sydney on November 12 and complete quarantine and Covid-19 protocols.

Their tour opens on November 27 with an ODI in Sydney followed by another two days later. The third and final game is played in Canberra, which also hosts the opening T20 before the series moves back to Sydney.

Wrangling over quarantine requirements and an outbreak of the virus in Melbourne delayed confirmation of the tour, which was only locked in on Wednesday.

Australia squad: Aaron Finch (capt), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Moises Henriques, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Daniel Sams, Kane Richardson, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa

[JattMaula]

Rightfully rated quite high.

 

[Hasan123]

Excited to see how he will perform at international level.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Greg Chappell is calling him next young best batsman after Ponting. Huge expectations on this guy

 

[Ahson8]

Australia's Stokes ?

 

[Marshland]

Australia's Stokes ?

With the exceptional promise he's shown with bat in hand I would be more than delighted if he gives up his bowling and focuses on just the stronger suit instead.

It's not like the batting stocks are flush with young bodies in any case.

 

[Ahson8]

It's not like the batting stocks are flush with young bodies in any case.

He has got good FC bowling stats too though. In any case I guess his bowling is a bonus, even if he averages 30-35 and does well with the bat, Australia should be more than happy

 

[Marshland]

Still a few years out before he makes it into the team I reckon.

A lot can go wrong and right before that day arrives.

Great to have you back after many years. Keep posting.

Cheers mate. Australia hold the Ashes for now so all is well with the cricket!

 

[angrypathan]

Still a few years out before he makes it into the team I reckon.

A lot can go wrong and right before that day arrives.

He's already been selected for the ODI squad against India. Chances are he'll make the test squad as well. Personally would've liked him to play this whole season of FC cricket at least but it is what it is.

 

[Marshland]

I realize he's in the ODI team, but I was referring to whites. The selectors have had a tendency to throw absolute green horns into the deep end (like Pucowski) only for it to end in tears. I will be a little put off if young Cam is still part of that thought process.

 

[MenInG]

 

[Sher Khan]

Devastating batsman, but was also bowling up to 145 kph on his debut ODI vs India.

 

[wrongun]

He's a rare combo- the genuine allrounder. I actually think he's a certainty for the Test XII and a very good chance to make the XI.

I'm worried his back will be injured again when he bowls at some point. But he's made the case to be the best middle order batsman in the country. He's dominated the Shield & FC cricket for years now just as a batsman alone.

I don't expect him to bowl 145k every day. But it's nice to know it's up his sleeve. His best role -considering we have Starc who is quicker and Cummins at 145k too would be to just bowl 10-15 steady overs. He's not needed as a frontline quick yet, so just ask him to bowl tidy while the guns rest & support Lyon.

 

[shah_1]

Stokes is not a natural talent when it comes to bowling. He worked really hard to improve his pace whereas Green was bowlng effortless on his debut despite bowling few overs since recovering from injury

 

[Mamoon]

He could become the player Watson was supposed to become.

 

[Mobashir]

I really hope that Australia doesn't mess up their selection this time around.
He looks to be a complete package, good enough to play as a batsman and a 4th bowler too.
Even tough he didn't batted that well in the third odi, how he defended Jadeja told me he is a capable batsman. For an 21 year old, playing left arm spin is one of the hardest thing.
He should be playing at 6 with Head at 5.

 

[Mobashir]

He could become the player Watson was supposed to become.

Here is what you call a potential great all rounder.

 

[Rajdeep]

Good dropped at 1st slip off the bowling of Umesh. He is a great talent no doubt but should have been out here on 24. That catch was a dolly and most of the time slip fielder will pounce on them.

 

[Mamoon]

Here is what you call a potential great all rounder.

Your obsession with Pandya is disturbing. Just because he proved you wrong on this tour and exposed your lack of cricket knowledge and hatred for Indian players, it doesn’t mean that you should continue to obsess with him in threads that have nothing to do with him.

Cameron Green is a great prospect for Australia and hope he does well for them because they really do need a pace bowling all-rounder.

Marsh has not lived up to his potential and Stoinis is decent at best.

 

[KoyoAli]

He could become the player Watson was supposed to become.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully, Injuries don't haunt his career like they did Watsons. But the potential in him is very exciting. Cricket needs a genuine all-rounder. Someone like him who takes fifers and scores centuries in First-Class cricket is the rarest commodity, considering he is a fast bowler. Will be looking forward to his development.

 

[wrongun]

He could become the player Watson was supposed to become.

I think Watson was actually a pretty succesful cricketer. Top class with the white ball and had a decent red ball career. His main fault was not being Jaques Kallis who set the bar ridiculously high in that era.

There haven't been any better pace allrounders until Stokes came along. Arguably Holder might do, but not there yet.

I do get your point though- Watson had a basic batting technique flaw and was a bit injury prone. His bowling would never have reached the heights of what Green might to anyway.

Green has all the weapons nescessary for greatness. Puts enormous pressure on him. Australia have produced very, very few good allrounders in test cricket. Watson was the most genuine since Miller or Benaud really.
You couldn't really argue that Johnson was an AR or that Gilmour was a big success.

Watson had a tremendous white ball career. The rise of T20 cricket in the 2010s really helped his career. He had a decent Test career as well, especially when he was transformed into a makeshift opener in 2009 and did pretty well.

Overall though, he underachieved massively in Test cricket.

 

[Ab Fan]

Good solid prospect for Australia. If we get Australia to 85-4, he can still save themselves by hitting a century and win his team the match by posting total score of 450+ from 85-4.

 

[tyron_woodley]

He did well vs Umesh who actually performed well btw.
Siraj was pretty good too.

Can green perform vs bumrah, Shami and Ishant? I don't know. Well no Sharma so that helps Australia obviously. Saini will come in for his red ball prowess.

Good prospect this green dude is indeed.

 

[Robert]

With Punchy, Saffer Import, The New Bradman and this new lad a powerful Australian batting line is emerging again.

 

[angrypathan]

Haven't been this excited about an Australian cricketer since Cummins.

 

[wrongun]

With Punchy, Saffer Import, The New Bradman and this new lad a powerful Australian batting line is emerging again.

Pucjovski has been putting up the sort of numbers in Shield cricket that selectors have spent years asking for- not just tons, regular tons. Not just regular tons, make big tons.

Could be a good era. A lot of "if" in there though. But it's a step up from 5 years or so ago when we were putting in guys like Agar and Renshaw who really hadn't done much in Shield cricket to earn a spot, there was just no one else performing better.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Green is very talented.
Puckovsi I am not too sure about.
Bradman jnr is better than snr Bradman
Labooskaackney is a super talent. Unproven in Asia however.

2 with world class potential. 1 is sort of the GOAT already in tests.
Other one is 50 50.

England have some quality oness too like pope, root, stokes.

India have Mayank, Kohli, Pujara. Potentially Gill, Shaw and pant plus Iyer I suppose.

You don't rate a potenial line up consisting of Abdullah Haider Babar Saud (Omair, Saif, Huraira etc and so many more as well in the wings)

 

[Firebat]

Looks the real deal. Excited to see him this series at least in one Test, I'm sure he's good enough to displace one of Head or Wade.

 

[tyron_woodley]

You don't rate a potenial line up consisting of Abdullah Haider Babar Saud (Omair, Saif, Huraira etc and so many more as well in the wings)

I do but they haven't been tested in international cricket yet.
Haider 100% yes
Saif Badar is very talented
Shafique

Need to see them vs international bowlers.

 

[shamaan]

You don't rate a potenial line up consisting of Abdullah Haider Babar Saud (Omair, Saif, Huraira etc and so many more as well in the wings)

Thiers alot of talent coming out of Pakistan and with the system that will be very good with rhe right team played they can challenge alot of teams

 

[Bhaijaan]

Looks class.

Could he be the next Ben Stokes?

 

[Mobashir]

Looks class.

Could he be the next Ben Stokes?

Probably not as flamboyant but maybe a more consistent batsman.
Stokes has something that transforms him in tough situations, be it batting, bowling or fielding.

 

[sharmaji]

Very solid allrounder, looked very fluent while batting. I can see he will have a long and successful career.

 

[Robert]

So you reckon this Green lad is the new Nugget at long last?

 

[Ellipsism]

He's more of a natural bowler than he is a batsman. IMO, in the future he'd be perfectly capable of fitting into a 3 man pace bowling attack.

 

[OffDrive]

Green is a gun, will dismantle a lot of teams, even without him bowling he can bat anywhere in the top 6.

He can easily bowl at 145, and seems to have gotten over his back surgeries. Will take a few more games of solid bowling to test his back, but is on track.

And he is a elite fielder as well, will be amongst the elite in world cricket.

I think he will be in our test team for the 3rd test, going to smash this crap Indian team on his own.

 

[Hasan123]

I think he hasn't bowled much recently . I think Australia will want him to bowl more before they include him in the test team.


Was surprised he didn't play any of the 2 T20s, would be nice for him to get some international experience.

 

[wrongun]

Probably not as flamboyant but maybe a more consistent batsman.
Stokes has something that transforms him in tough situations, be it batting, bowling or fielding.

Yes, Stokes has that bit of magic when he needs it that English allrounders seem to find- Freddy, Botham, now Stokes. Very hard to replicate that. Almost too much to ask for- it's a once in a generation thing.

 

[wrongun]

So you reckon this Green lad is the new Nugget at long last?

I think that's a bit of a stretch. Nugget was a one-off. A bit like you lot tagging everyone the "next Botham" when really, there'll never be another English allrounder to hold the world record wickets & score 14 hundreds.

It's absurdly early to tell. One gets the feeling with some players that they'll always be bits & pieces (McDonald or Henriques). With Watto we knew we he had the talent to be a Test class batsman & that his bowling would more than hold an end up, but could actually be 4th seamer worthy. Turns out Watto just could never correct his front pad & couldn't bowl without injury enough (too long in the gym early in his career he says, not enough flexibility stuff).

With Green he's probably at least a good a bat as Watto. But in international cricket your flaw WILL be found out & how you adapt & cope decides your real career. His bowling has a much higher ceiling than Watson (who was no slouch, 140k w with natural outswing for most of his career). Could be a genuine frontline seamer, open bowling or first change one day.

I think he can average, with his potential 35-40 with the bat if he bowls a lot & <30 with the ball. He'll make more runs if he bowls less. Or he might end up a bowler who averages 30 with the bat & bats #7-8 if an flaw is revealed (Pollock style).

But Nugget is mythical for his presence, style & achievements away from the game flying fighter planes as much as what he did on it.

 

[wrongun]

I think he hasn't bowled much recently . I think Australia will want him to bowl more before they include him in the test team.


Was surprised he didn't play any of the 2 T20s, would be nice for him to get some international experience.

Thing is, he's never done anything in T20 cricket to deserve selection. I honestly think the longer formats suit him. I think it's so weird how Pakistan debut guys in formats they've barely played (be it red or white ball) and expect them to do well- it mucks up their careers imo.

 

[Ab Fan]

Mark my word, he will be player of the series.

 

[tyron_woodley]

What a player. 200 cm too. He should be a full time bowling all rounder

Is this the future though?

Athletic 200 cm guys who can bat and bowl? Complete players.
Jamieson first and now green?

Although there is the novelty factor ofcourse. Let's see how big jammo and big green do in the fortress aka India.

We will get owned 4-0 in the test series with a couple of innings defeat. 2011 returning all the way.

Shaw and Gill already exposed with averages of 8 & 14.5 respectively in the first warm-up game. This is the situation of our future versions of Tendulkar/ Lara and Kohli. Umesh leading our pace attack is already a reality check for us.

Expect Cummins and Hazelwood to eat little Prithvi Shaw alive for breakfast.

 

[Titan24]

Definitely a player to watch out for in this decade of he remains fit. I think fitness issues and injuries will be his biggest obstacle in the way of achieving his full potential. If he can somehow overcome this obstacle with hard work and some luck then I think there wont be much in his way to achieve success.

Problem with most of the fast bowling all rounders who were good enough to bat in the top 6 in the last decade or two has been fitness. Shane Watson was an impressive talent and did really well in white ball cricket but still his career was full of injuries and fitness issues which possibly prevented him to achieve his full potential even in tests as well. Same was the case with Angelo Mathews who used to be pretty quick in his early days but, due to fitness concerns became mainly a batsman who can ball 2-4 overs if required. Ben Stokes also struggles with fitness issue every now and then, making captains use his bowling sparingly during those times.

Point is being a good enough batsman to be in top 6 and then a good enough bowler to be a regular 4th pacer in almost all the formats requires top fitness. Jaques Kallis who was one of the greatest all rounders in the history, was the last one who did that without much sweat for a long time and that too while facing tons of balls and scoring tons of runs only to come back and ball good amount of overs. So if Green can somehow maintain Kallis level of fitness, I think he can be a player to watch in this decade.

Lol chill. India won't bend over that easily.
It's a practice game man. It's not a real test match. Umesh is leading our second string attack ROFL. What's wrong with you bro. Infact he did very well vs a good Australia. Side A.

Australia also still need to travel to India soon. Phainta incoming in India if phainta happens here. India always pay it back. I doubt it though. Going to be competitive.

 

[moghul]

You guys got me excited, let me go and watch him, he just took two wickets.

 

[angrypathan]

Got both Shaw and Gill with the ball. Special player.

 

[Hasan123]

I don't think T20s will be his strongest format. I just thought it would be nice to have some international experience but seems as though Australia wanted him to play in the A game.

 

[wrongun]

I don't think T20s will be his strongest format. I just thought it would be nice to have some international experience but seems as though Australia wanted him to play in the A game.

I can tell you Australia selectors don't really think that way. Years ago good form would just get you selected for the next side but more & more we have seen that actually failed & confused players- why is the guy who scored Shield runs given a game above the 2nd top BBL run scorer etc. And then they have the pressure of an international debut in a format they are really rubbish at & lack the skills for. It can ruin a player.

The gulf between Shield (5 teams, all fully professional & paid a decent salary + a big top up for BBL) & Pakistan domestic to International Cricket is different. So Oz don't need to rush a player in to internationals in a format that doesn't make sense for him, just to get him in a professional environment. Different circumstance.

 

[therealAB]

A serious talent
Outperformed the so-called prodigies in Gill, Pucovski and Shaw by a huge margin, just with the bat

 

[therealAB]

Mark my word, he will be player of the series.

Dumb selectors might not even pick him

 

[tyron_woodley]

A serious talent
Outperformed the so-called prodigies in Gill, Pucovski and Shaw by a huge margin, just with the bat

Height bully on bounce tracks. It's normal.
Aukat will be seen post novelty factor. Will be be a Tremlett or McGrath.

 

[therealAB]

Looks class.

Could he be the next Ben Stokes?

Bit of a different player to Ben Stokes. Green should be a better bowler, and could match Stokes with the bat statistically (which is still obviously brilliant). However, it is yet to be known whether Green will have that x-Factor that Stokes has. I'd say that he has the potential to surpass Stokes in the test format (not limited overs), as bowling allrounders are generally preferable and Green could become a legitimate third pacer, where Stokes is a bit inconsistent

 

[choudhary6964]

He will make Indians cry if selected in playing 11.

 

[tyron_woodley]

He will make Indians cry if selected in playing 11.

You should worry about height bounce track bully Jamieson who might run a train through your team. Don't worry about green facing India. We will worry about that mate.

 

[therealAB]

Height bully on bounce tracks. It's normal.
Aukat will be seen post novelty factor. Will be be a Tremlett or McGrath.

Aukat?
Also the first time I've ever seen the greatest fast bowler of all time and a one series wonder in the same sentence

 

[tyron_woodley]

Aukat?
Also the first time I've ever seen the greatest fast bowler of all time and a one series wonder in the same sentence

Auakat as in his real ability vs quality opposition away from home. We shall see how he fares then. Will he be a Tremlett or a McGrath. Or in between.

Green concussed by head blow, subbed out for Australia A

Australia's Test hopeful Cameron Green was struck on the head by a return shot in his bowling follow through and has been subbed out of Australia A's day-night clash with India.

A Cricket Australia spokesperson confirmed Green had been withdrawn from the remainder of the match, and Victorian batsman Patrick Rowe named as his concussion replacement.

Green continues to be monitored by CA's medical staff. An update on his condition will be made on Saturday. An update on his condition is expected later this evening.

It's the second head blow suffered by an Australia A player in as many games, with Green's fellow Test squad member Will Pucovski diagnosed with a mild concussion after being struck while batting in the tour game at Drummoyne Oval earlier this week.

Green was bowling his seventh over and had claimed the wicket of India's number three Shubman Gill as the tourists batting – minus captain Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara – collapsed to 9-123 before some free-swinging from Bumrah that netted the tailender his highest first-class score.

Cameron Green's been in sensational form for Western Australia recently. His last 3 scores:

168 (Shield)
144 (List A)
251 (Shield)

Absolutely stunning start to his first-class career. It'll be interesting to see whether he makes the step-up to test cricket eventually. Can see him batting at 5 for Australia over the long-term.

He is a very good player and I have seen what I needed to see on the India series. Yes he didnt score many runs but the class was visible. He will be a heavy scorer against all opponents going forward.

Hell of a run of form. That seam bowling AR in Tests has been a problem spot for AUS for a while, Green could possibly be the solution.

Before the 168 he scored 203* In premier cricket for his club Side

It's a real shame that the South African series was cancelled, would have loved to see Green bat against Rabada and Nortje on those pitches.

 

[Ab Fan]

His batting is very good but his bowling needs lot of improvement.

I would play him at no.5 and bring Mitchell Marsh at 6 because in India tour, Aussies were missing out on a good fifth bowling option, especially with Starc bowling quite terribly and Lyon being nullified by our batsman.

Rising star Green gets first CA contract as big names miss out

Cricket Australia has announced a 17-player men's contract list for 2021-22, with Cameron Green earning his first national deal.

Green is the lone new name on the contract list, with Joe Burns, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinus all missing out.

Those who have missed out on the contract list are still eligible for national selection and can be upgraded to a central deal over the course of the year, as Stoinis was in 2020-21.

CA's men's contract list has been trimmed down to 17 players from 20 in previous years, with Chairman of Selectors Trevor Hohns pinning the reduction on two reasons.

"Firstly, we have seen format specialisation become increasingly prevalent in recent seasons which, accordingly, has resulted in a broader group of players representing Australia, often beyond the initial list of contracted players at the start of each year," Hohns said.

"Secondly, we want to create an environment where players strive for national selection through consistent domestic performances and earn national contracts through consistent international performances.

"There will continue to be opportunities and support for players outside this group to represent Australia and earn an upgrade to a central contract with strong performances throughout the year.

"But in naming these 17 players, we believe we have a strong core group which cover all forms of the game for the 12 months ahead."

Green's contract comes after a bumper summer for the rising star, who debuted in Tests and ODIs against India in 2020-21.

He averaged 31.08 with the bat during the Border-Gavaskar series, most notably scoring a half-century in the third Test. He then topped the run-scoring in Australia's first-class Sheffield Shield season, making 922 at 76.83.

"Cameron is a player we believe will play an important role for Australian cricket after his impressive breakout summer,” Hohns said.

"His 84 in the second innings against India at the SCG demonstrated excellent technique and resolve and we are confident his bowling will be impactful at international level. His domestic form was also outstanding, and we expect he will only get better with more international exposure.”

Green's elevation comes with Australia heading into a huge 12 months of cricket headlined by the ICC T20 World Cup in India and an Ashes campaign at home. Hohns added this is far from the end for the five players who failed to be retained.

"There is a considerable amount of international cricket to be played across all formats in the next 12 months and the door to national selection is never closed to players outside this list,” Hohns said.

“The NSP continues to hold Joe Burns, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis in high regard and expect that they, and many others across Australian Cricket, will continue to make strong cases for national selection next season.”

He's the best commentator in the world when it comes to analyzing a batsman's weakness, not the first time he's predicted a dismissal and certainly won't be the last.

This is why I still rate certain Aussie commentators above the likes of Nasser Hussain and the Sky team. Sky's commentary , good as it is, will always be a bit more mechanical and whenever they analyse a Batsman's weakneeses , it is using some underlying data as context. Ponting knows exactly what the issue is with just one look at his stance .

 

[Amjid Javed]

Looks like a poor mans Shane watson with the bat. Watson was very poor with getting bowled and lbw all the time.

 

[wrongun]

Interesting player.

He's clearly a cut above Shield cricket. But hasn't looked confident at Test level & looks to have been pretty quickly worked out by England.

He might have to go work on his technique. I'll back to him to have a good career at some stage, even if he has to be dropped first.

Its only Ponting though. The rest of the Aussie commentators are not better than the sky commies.

I think it's just the culture over there. The commentators tend to banter a lot and it's not always serious and analytical. But when they actually get into it, I find they can provide some real valuable insights - Clarke, McGrath , Dizzy, Fleming, Watson (quite a revelation at the World T20) . Even Warne and Kerry o keefe make good points when they are not busy trolling.

 

[TeymurBlake]

He's young and has plenty of time on his side. He's a good player from what I have seen. Just needs to constantly work on his weaknesses.

But I must say, I have been very impressed with Ricky Ponting's analysis. He was thorough with Green's batting stance and technique. Very good. Up there with Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton for me.
