World News – UA – Warning for Australian cricket’s next ‘absolute superstar’

Rising Western Australian star Cameron Green continues to claim a place in Camp Test, flaunting his fourth century Sheffield Shield in less than a year

Green’s 197 for Western Australia against New South Wales in Adelaide brought his Sheffield Shield total since the start of last season to 963 points, the most players in this period

With an average of 7,408 since the start of the 2019-20 season, Green is putting pressure on Matthew Wade for a place in the Australian middle order

A true all-rounder who also boasts an average of 21 shields54, Green could find himself on the Test side as a specialist batsman, with back issues currently preventing him from playing bowling

National selector Trevor Hohns said last summer that Green needed to bowling to qualify for the test team, but his trail weight since then means his name is set to return to the ranks. discussions for a place at number six

Australia haven’t played a test since January, which means there is little form to continue, but Travis Head succeeded a century against New Zealand in Melbourne just two years ago tests, while Wade, who is nearing his 33rd birthday, failed to hit 40 in the series against the Kiwis

Head, who turns 27 this summer, is clearly the longer-term option, which means Wade could end up on the outside if the selectors like blood green

Tester Nathan Lyon was part of the long-lasting NSW attack on Green and came away excited about what he saw

« He was very, very impressive » he said « Even under pressure he looked pretty calm and clear You have to give credit where it’s due »

A man who knows a lot about being cast into the Test squad at a young age is his West Australian teammate Green Ashton Agar, who also sang Green’s praises to the strains

However, Agar, who made her test debut at 19, warned against waiting too much, too soon

“He’s got a great cricket brain,” said Agar “They threw everything at him: bouncer plan, wide bowling, stump attack, Nathan Lyon played a lot of overs – the best spinner in the world – and he had a really solid plan for everyone he faced Even talking to him in the middle, he’s really calm and collected

« Anytime he gets the opportunity to the next level I think he’ll definitely be ready for it when he gets there But I just hope we don’t put too much pressure on him, let him just go about his business because he’s a good looking player and thinks he’ll be an absolute superstar

« Getting in there and being 185 not out for a very young player, just shows that he has maturity beyond his years and a lot of talent The best part about it is that he’s a super child – a super young man

« He learns, listens, works really hard on his game and assesses situations really well And he looks really calm at the fold, nothing seems to bother him too much For him to go out and get a really big hundred, again once is quite special «
