Despite a poor run of form with both bat and ball, former Australia batter Michael Clarke has urged the selectors to continue backing Cameron Green, who is expected to take valuable learnings from a tough tour.
Green has amassed 149 runs at an average of 21.28 in the ongoing Ashes series so far. Even with the ball, the right-arm seamer has failed to make an impact, taking just four wickets at an average of 60.75, without taking more than one wicket in an innings in the series. In his last eight Tests prior to the Sydney Test, Green has managed only one half-century with the bat.
“I think he’ll actually learn a lot from this series, learn a lot about himself as a person and about his game,” Hussey told Fox Sports. “It’ll build his resilience. I think he’s someone who has to be persisted with. He’s someone who can bat in the top six and bowl high-quality overs. This series hasn’t gone his way. Some of it is down to his own mistakes, but some of it is simply that things don’t go your way. Sometimes that happens in cricket, and it can happen over an entire Test series. He’s had a tough series here and he will have learned a lot. We’ll see the benefits of that in the future. I think we’ve got 20 Test matches coming up in the next couple of years, and we’ll see the benefits of that in those games.”
Coming into the series, there were high expectations of Australia’s first-choice all-rounder, but he failed to deliver.
