How many cricketers have ever had Green’s attributes? He’s supposed to be an elite batting talent right? Genuine specialist bat + bowls 140+. Maybe just Kallis, but he wasn’t 6’6”+

Like obv Green could turn out to suck but still

I still think he's got more back troubles in his future. But he has an immense ceiling.

 

[Gnske]

Can the commentators for one moment stop furiously ejaculating over Cameron Green and let him exist?

Cute how you think he's a thing of the past

 

[Daemon]

I see the commentators still think rahane is good against spin because he's Indian. Racist af imo.

Yeah, during the A game someone said he was one of the best players of spin in the world.

Hahaha feed him trundler. Tell him how good Tim Paine's influence is too.

 

[morgieb]

Get Rahane on strike pls

 

[cnerd123]

The way Rahane props forward and goes hard at the ball like that. I know this generation of Indian batsmen are not so supreme against spin as the previous, but how do you end up with a technique like that there?

lots of flat pitches in Ranji and limited overs cricket is what catches selector's attention. So lots of hard hands and hitting through the line. Lots of spinners are also resorting more to bowling darts rather than tossing it up.

Some of the Ranji pitches can be grassy, with medium pacers getting hooping swing. So this generation tends to play the moving ball better than the spinning one weirdly enough. But pace+bounce and drift+turn are combinations they don't handle as well.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Why are you so keen to get on strike you chutiya rahane. Just face green ffs

 

[Kirkut]

A score of 310 - 320 in first innings is not bad considering slow outfield and very good bowling, which looks quite far.

 

[Starfighter]

They're gonna need to bowl 33-34 overs in the last session after allowances.
