Green Good to Go After Finding Natural Game with Bat
Green says he is ready to bat in the series decider as Nathan Lyon’s return hinges on Cape Town’s dry pitch.
- Cameron Green prepared for the third Test against South Africa on Saturday, returning after an abdominal injury that sidelined him for the first two matches in Cape Town.
- The 27-year-old strained his abdomen last month in Potchefstroom after being struck in the groin, then attempting a shot two balls later. He described the injury as "really bizarre."
- Although he prefers batting at Nos. 4 or 5, Green expressed willingness to play anywhere for the team. He will operate solely as a batsman this week after nine months of technical refinement.
- Selection chair George Bailey scouted players at the team hotel on Saturday as questions loom over the squad's composition. Veteran spinner Nathan Lyon also trained, potentially returning if the Cape Town pitch remains flat.
- Coach Andrew McDonald maintains a "really consistent change room" amid these adjustments. Green hopes his return to a more natural batting style helps Australia succeed against South Africa's quality bowling attack in the series decider.
