Cameron Green: The New Star of Australian Cricket Debuts in Adelaide
The 21-year-old all-rounder, Cameron Green, from Western Australia, is ready to make his debut for Australia at the Adelaide Oval. This initial appearance is one of the most anticipated in the world of cricket.A Promising Career
Green’s track record in first-class cricket is impressive. With five centuries in 21 matches, including a top score of 197 runs earlier this season against New South Wales, and a batting average of 55.04. He stood out against Queensland at the Gabba in November 2019, showcasing his potential with the bat by scoring 87 and 121 not out, batting in positions 8 and 9. With the ball, Green averages 21.72 for his 33 wickets, including 5 for 24 in his first-class debut against Tasmania, against whom he also took his best figures of 6 for 30 in 2018. Although his career in the white-ball format is not as prominent, he made his ODI debut a couple of weeks ago, this is in a handful of matches: nine in List A and T20.Great Expectations
Greg Chappell has called him the “best since Ricky Ponting” in recent interviews. In June, Chappell included him in the number 6 position in the test team.“For me, Cameron Green is the next Australian cricket superstar. He is a real 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 unusual talent. At 6 feet 7 inches, he could become something very special. I would have him 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”.
