Cameron Green: The New Australian Cricket Promise Ready for Debut
The 21-year-old Western Australian allrounder, Cameron Green, is set to make his debut for Australia at the Adelaide Oval. His anticipated debut has generated great expectation in the cricket world.A Promising Career
In first-class cricket, Green has shown exceptional talent. He has accumulated five centuries in 21 matches, highlighting an impressive 197, his personal best, achieved at the beginning of the season against New South Wales. His batting average is 55.04. In a match against Queensland in November 2019, Green demonstrated his worth with the bat, scoring 87 and 121 runs not out. With the ball, his average of 21.72 for his 33 wickets is notable, including a 5 for 24 in his first-class debut against Tasmania, a team against which he also achieved his best figures of 6 for 30 in 2018. Although his career in short-format matches does not stand out as much, his ODI debut a couple of weeks ago has attracted attention.Great Expectations
Expectations for Green are high. Greg Chappell has called him “the best since Ricky Ponting.” Green is expected to become a key figure for the Australian team.“For me, Cameron Green is the next Australian cricket superstar,” said Chappell. “He’s a genuine prospect with the bat and ball, but I think his future is as a batsman who can offer some quality overs. Cameron is a batsman with uncommon talent. At 6 feet 7 inches, he could become something very special. I would put him to bat at number 6 to start, but I think number 4 is his long-term position. The sooner he plays at this level, the sooner he will become the player he should be.”
