Green Has Got To Find Method And Tempo With His Batting: Ponting
New Delhi: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting highlighted significant weaknesses in Cameron Green's performances before what is likely to be a pivotal fifth Ashes Test, saying that Green needs to find a more effective method with his batting.
Green is under the most pressure after another quiet performance with the bat in Melbourne, where he scored 17 in the first innings and was dismissed for 19 in the second. Despite his strong Sheffield Shield form, which shows his ability, his Test average sits at 32.25, and expectations are beginning to rise as patience fades, even with his obvious talent at 26.
Ponting also believes Green’s frequent changes in batting position have undermined his confidence. Speaking on SEN Radio, he said Green currently looks like a “very nervous starter” amid his struggles to get going.
