Green’s Ashes campaign was extremely poor as his batting average dropped to 24.42, while his bowling average shot up to 70.75. The five-match Test series against England had several forgettable moments, including the strange dismissal at the Gabba when he backed away, two loose shots in Adelaide, and the avoidable run-out at the MCG.
These numbers and errors raise serious questions over his place in Australia’s Test side as they gear up for the next season, but overall, his numbers both at the highest level and in domestic cricket are hard to ignore despite missing a lot of cricket due to injuries. He averages 45.52 in first-class matches and an outstanding 53.38 in the Sheffield Shield.
The Australian head coach has further explained that they have the No. 5 position free after Usman Khawaja’s retirement, and this is where the combination of Webster and Green becomes exciting for the selectors. Both can bat in the middle order, both can bowl, and together they bring a level of flexibility that modern Test teams crave.
McDonald shows full faith in Cameron Green
McDonald admitted that Cameron Green still has some areas to fine-tune, but so does every cricketer trying to settle into long-term roles, and they are not ready to give up on him, saying it’s only a matter of time before his confidence and consistency return.
The coach further added, “But I think he's [Green] good enough. Anyone that's averaging that at the Shield level suggests that he's ahead of the pack there, and it's only a matter of time before it gets to a situation where he's performing for Australia. I think he's got a few things to work on around his game, but that's no different from anyone else.”
There's huge expectation within the IPL: Andrew McDonald
He noted that people expect the all-rounders to score big with the bat and also take wickets cheaply, just like Shane Watson and Andre Symonds. He said this level of expectation is tough for any player, especially someone still building his career like Green.
McDonald signed off by saying, “I'm sure that his career will trend upwards. We know he's good enough. He's just got to balance out all those expectations, and in particular, playing all three formats, which is a significant challenge for any cricketer, let alone a player that's still learning.”
