Former Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming has said that looking at Cameron Green's "picture-perfect outswinger" he could be fast emerging as the candidate for the new ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Green, the youngest member in Australia's XI at 22 years of age, gave a glimpse of the things to come when he came up with a highly-impressive performance in the opening Ashes Test at The Gabba, claiming the wicket of Ollie Pope for 35 in the first innings and then taking 2\/23, including the prized scalp of England skipper Joe Root, in the second innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Australia defeated the tourists by nine wickets in the opening Test of the five-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
While Green was impressive with the bat in his debut series versus India last season, averaging over 30 with the bat at No.6, he was a bit disappointing with the ball. But all that changed in the Brisbane Test where his outswingers seemed unplayable at times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"With an 85-over ball he bowls a picture-perfect outswinger to the number one batsman in the world and nicks him off," Fleming told SEN Breakfast on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I actually would have kept Green with the new ball. "6'7 over 140 kilometres an hour and he bowls an outswinger. I don't think we used him well last year, we bowled him with an old ball and he was generally told to bowl short.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
