    "editor1": "Ian Healy: Australian cricket legend Ian Healy gave his blunt take on Cameron Green's selection for the first Ashes Test squad, saying that he should not have been selected for the series opener if he can\u2019t bowl.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Green, the incumbent No. 3, has sent down just four overs in competitive cricket so far this summer after back surgery. A return to bowling in international cricket in the ODI series against India was nixed by a side complaint.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But if Green can still bat despite not being up to bowling, Healy thinks Australia all-rounder Beau Webster will be able to do both at No. 6 when it comes to the final makeup of the first Test XI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cGuess who's holding the reins? It\u2019s Cameron Green. Cam Green, will he bat three and bowl, bat six and bowl, bat and not bowl or simply not play?\" Healy said on SENQ Breakfast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cCameron Green needs to bowl 10 overs a day in the Shield game, and that\u2019s all he has to do in the Aussie team to support the work of those three fast men.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s only bowled four overs this season, and at this stage, I\u2019m saying Cameron Green shouldn't be in our Test team if he\u2019s not bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cIn the Shield game, he\u2019s going to try and emulate a Test workload, I\u2019m assuming. He\u2019s coming off back surgery, but that\u2019s got nothing to do with a side strain and side soreness, which he\u2019s got,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s only bowled four overs this season, and at this stage, I\u2019m saying Cameron Green shouldn't be in our Test team if he\u2019s not bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">LIVE Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p>\u201cThere'll be a shuffling of the deck chairs. If Green doesn't play, Marnus goes to three and Weatherald opens. I\u2019m of the opinion as well that Marnus can open as well with the form and mindset he\u2019s in, but you\u2019d rather have him at three,\" Healy said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/h5>",
