Cameron Green

[Blue Arrow]

So basically everybody was rubbish, except Pollock & Green.
Pollock bowled like McGrath & batted like Tim Paine for 100+ test matches and that is about the only piece I have seen that puts him in a good light among all-rounders.

do we know if any of those had a test ton or a 5fa in their first 9 matches ?

pretty impressive for green at this point in time.

Holder batted WI to a draw against England with a century in his fourth match and Kallis hit one in a Boxing Day test against Warne and McGrath in his first half dozen or so

Well his first innings away from home on a overseas tour

48 batted well disappointing shot to get out on.

Very happy with the way he played just think he is not batting like a number six should.....he is batting well I would just like to see more intent and I believe he would be suited better at 5 with head at 6...

I think the pressure will start to build on him as he waits to score that elusive 100 ...and its hard batting at 6 to do that

Coming along fine. I agree he might be better at 5 than 6 as a batsman but then we start to run into - he should bat higher up the order and bowl more often - and a lot gets put on a young player's shoulders.

 

[frankrizzo]

I dont really care if he makes tons at 6 but it's more about the soft way he seems to give his wicket away when looking set if he fixes that issue up then and is a regular contributor with middle order/tail i dont think it matters if he makes 100's on a regular basis.

Green starts his Shield innings in the same manner. I have no difficulty at all with his pacing. It is red ball cricket.

He will get tons.

I remember a young all rounder who struggled for a long time to make good runs, he got an extended run in the side and was a very, very innovative bowler before injury meant he didn't bowl a lot in the latter part of his career. He came pretty good in the end though.

Some of you might remember him. Steve Waugh.

Green has played a handful of matches. I'd be more than happy to see him get an extended run. I like very much what I see so far.

Good all rounders are uncommon enough. Great ones are another thing all together. Let's give the bloke a chance to show us which kind, if any, he is.

Only the "struggled for a long time" bit

Presuming it was the catches that held Immy up?

Imran Khan scored his 500th run in his 15th test, his 15th wicket in his seventh test and yeah, the catches held him up. He only took 28 catches in his 88 tests.

 

[The Passenger]

Presuming it was the catches that held Immy up?

Yep

 

[The Falcon Strike]

One would think the "catch" stat is probably a reflection of fielding skill.

ie - the more catches you take - likely you were put in spots where catches are taken.

Green appearing to be elite very early means he has found his way into gully/slips

His bowling was never anywhere near what Green is capable of though. Yeah, he had a few tricks different slower balls etc. but he was a pretty stock standard medium pacer.

So he wasn't as quick as Green.

All-rounder, you know, someone who is capable of good service both bowling and batting.

Almost 300 international wickets but OK..

A better response might be 'so what' or why 9 tests ?

Very successful change bowler I recall, no stats ...

Steven Waugh was a very, very effective bowler in both forms of the game before his batting hit its' stride.

I am old, in fact 2 years older than the twins, so I saw his entire career. The guy was a quality all-rounder before he stopped bowling.

If Green turns out 75% the player that S. Waugh was then we're doing well.

A genuine great, much more than a bloody good cricketer that I'll be happy if Cam Green turns out to be.

Under pressure to perform or perish, Steve Waugh smacked one of the greatest tons in Ashes folklore off the last ball of the day and, in the process, amassed 10,000 Test runs and equalled Sir Don Bradman’s record of 29 centuries.
