'Tempo Of Green's Innings Stood Out For Me', Says Cummins On All-rounder’s Match-winning 174
Pat Cummins: Australia captain Pat Cummins said the tempo of all-rounder Cameron Green’s match-winning 174 in the first Test against New Zealand under difficult conditions in Wellington stood out for him and it could become a template for him as a number four batter in the longer format.
Green rescued Australia from 89/4 with a counterattacking 174 off 275 balls, also his highest score in the format, while sharing a 116-run stand for the last wicket. He hit 23 fours and five sixes as the visitors got their first innings total of 383, which was crucial in setting up the base for a 172-run win to go 1-0 up in the two-match Test series.
"I reckon that's as sharp as I've seen him. He put pressure back on the opposition, he was using his feet to upset the bowlers' lengths on a really tough day one wicket. I thought it was incredibly impressive and it's given him a good blueprint of how to play going forward.
