Green has proven his worth in first-class cricket, accumulating five centuries in 21 matches. His most outstanding performance was an impressive 197 against New South Wales. In addition, he averages 55.04 with the bat. In a match against Queensland, he demonstrated his potential with 87 and 121 not out runs.With the ball, Green averages 21.72 with 33 wickets, including an impressive 5/24 on his debut.

Great Expectations
Expectations for Green are high. Greg Chappell has called him “the best since Ricky Ponting.” In a hypothetical scenario, Chappell selected him in the number 6 position in the test team.“For me, Cameron Green is the next Australian cricket superstar. He is 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”.
