Cameron Green backed for 'extended run' after drought-breaking ton
Captain Pat Cummins says Cameron Green will get an "extended run" in one position in Australia's line-up after scoring his first Test century on home soil.
Cameron Green has delivered for a struggling Australian cricket team, scoring his first Test century in Australia and breaking an 11-innings run without a half-century. The 27-year-old all-rounder's 104 in the second innings of Australia's nine-wicket loss to Bangladesh in Darwin has given captain Pat Cummins reasons to believe in an extended run for Green at number five.
Green, who was criticized for not translating his potential into results, said it was nice to revert to what worked for him. Cummins acknowledged that Green had been encouraged to intimidate the opposition, a method he showcased effectively. Despite the underperforming top order, Cummins believes Green will get an extended run, as he did in the West Indies tour and during the Ashes series.
