Australia Will Play Green As Pure Batter In 1st Test Against India, Feels Adam Gilchrist | Cricket News

[ad_1] Legendary wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist feels Australia will play all-rounder Cameron Green as a pure batter at the number six spot in the first Test against India beginning on Thursday. The 23-year-old is recovering from a surgery on the index finger of his right hand, which he had broken during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa last December. Australia coach Andrew McDonald has already confirmed that Green is currently unable to bowl."Such is the way of this psyche of the selectors and this team, I think they'll start with Green at six, assuming he's fully fit and not hindered by that finger injury at all,” Gilchrist told 'Sen Radio'."I think that's the nature of this group, they're pretty trusting of each other and really keen to back each other in every situation."...

I really do. I think they've got a squad and final XI that will have a lot of similarities to the team we rolled with in 2004," Gilchrist was quoted as saying by Fox Sports on Tuesday."So often teams go to India hoping to unveil some new spinner that's going to...
