Earlier this year, Green won back his position in Australia\u2019s playing eleven in Tests after being edged out by Mitchell Marsh\u2019s superior show during the Ashes. But Green failed to go past 50 in three innings against the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the ongoing first Test at Basin Reserve, Green rescued Australia from 89\/4 with a counterattacking 174 off 275 balls, also his highest score in the format. He hit 23 fours and five sixes as the visitors\u2019 got their first innings total of 383.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I'm thrilled for Cam, I think it\u2019s brilliant. I think it\u2019s been in him. It\u2019s just great to see him standing tall with that confidence. I think going back to that knock in the Shield, in pretty similar conditions, it just really vindicates the selectors\u2019 decision to stick him in at no.4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Hopefully he\u2019ll build on this with many more to come. It\u2019s an absolutely fantastic knock. It just shows that there are opportunities. Obviously a very settled men\u2019s side but it\u2019s great to have so many ready to come through and compete for places,\" said Hockley on SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Hockley added he doesn\u2019t influence selectors\u2019 decisions, though he admitted to having regular discussions with the selection panel that also features coach Andrew McDonald and Tony Dodemaide. \"I talk mainly to see how they\u2019re going, that\u2019s their job. I think over the last two years, their selections have been vindicated in all formats.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/03\/greens-ton-vindicates-selectors-decision-to-stick-him-in-at-no-4-hockley.JPG", "alt_img": "Green's ton vindicates selectors' decision to stick him in at no. 4: Hockley", "alt_title": "Green's ton vindicates selectors' decision to stick him in at no. 4: Hockley", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Green's Ton Vindicates Selectors' Decision To Stick Him In At No. 4: Hockley On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Green's Ton Vindicates Selectors' Decision To Stick Him In At No. 4: Hockley, Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley: Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley believes Cameron Green's magnificent 174 in the first Test against.", "seo_keywords": "Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley, Cameron Green, New Zealand, Mitchell Marsh, But Green, West Indies, Basin Reserve, SEN Radio, Andrew McDonald, Tony Dodemaide", "tag": "", "tagging": " Cameron Green, New Zealand, Mitchell Marsh, But Green, West Indies, Basin Reserve, SEN Radio, Andrew McDonald, Tony Dodemaide", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "greens-ton-vindicates-selectors-decision-to-stick-him-in-at-no-4-hockley", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "760", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-03-01 15:06:04", "updated": "2024-03-01 15:06:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley, Cameron Green, New Zealand, Mitchell Marsh, But Green, West Indies, Basin Reserve, SEN Radio, Andrew McDonald, Tony Dodemaide", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-03-01 15:06:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/greens-ton-vindicates-selectors-decision-to-stick-him-in-at-no-4-hockley-139398" }
