Not intelligent bowling, Greaves. Much more comfortable off the back foot.

How this guy is batting at 4 for Australia is just insane.

He has the same test stats as Stokes did at the same time, boy people are impatient here. Had one innings last test got a good ball (it can happen), poor shot first innings this test, and he’s not out right now. People are expecting the bloke to be prime Jacques Kallis and if he isn’t they want to replace the bloke with a sub 30’s cricketer

Do you pay attention to Shield cricket?

Well done Greeny

Yes the guy averaging 50 in shield cricket when the rest of shield cricket is ass at the moment is going to get more than 2 tests to prove himself at 4.
He has been okay although not spectacular to start his test career. He gets more time simply because he has more talent than anyone else waiting in the wings

He's batting number four, the comparisons aren't all rounders any more.

How many available players average more than Green at Test level, or if they are uncapped average more than him at FC level?
Not Bancroft, not Renshaw, not Harris. So forget them.
At Test level it's Handscomb, Pucovski, Patterson and maybe Burns if he's available. Patterson only played 2 tests and averages 37 at FC level
Green's average of 33 isn't huge but he averages more than Carey and Mitch Marsh.
Why would we promote someone from a lower level that at a lower level performs worse than Green?

He was a failed number six, why do we need prolonged exposure to work out he's a failed number four?

Same arguments were rolled out for keeping him over Mitch Marsh, history didn't exactly vindicate that.

He is a batsman who bowls but you are being highly impatient. Give him a full year, we can be patient, have NZ next.
Protecting Lyon, good work
