Former Australia fast bowler Damien Fleming has said he is increasingly emerging as a candidate for the new ball, given Cameron Greene’s “perfect outswinger”.
Green, the youngest member in Australia’s XI at 22, gave a glimpse of things to come when he scored 35 runs in the opening Ashes Test at The Gabba with an extremely impressive performance claiming the wicket of Ollie Pope . A score of 2/23 including the prized skull of England captain Joe Root in the first innings and then the second.
Australia beat Tourists by nine wickets in the first Test of the five-match series.
While Greene was impressive with the bat in his debut series versus India last season, averaging over 30, at No. 6 with the bat, he was a bit disappointed with the ball. But everything changed in the Brisbane Test, where his outswingers at times seemed unplayable.
“With the ball of 85 overs, he bowls a great outswinger to the world number one batsman and gets him out,” Fleming told SEN Breakfast on Monday.
“I would have really put Green with the new ball. “6’7 over 140 kph and he bowls an outswinger. I don’t think we used him well last year, we bowled him with the old ball And he was usually asked to bowl short.
Fleming, who played 20 Tests and 88 ODIs, took more than 200 wickets in both, “You can fill a role doing that, but his big X-factor is that he’s got an outswinger and we know it’s deadly, Especially at the top level.” Format.
