Greg Chappell said Green was the best Oz batting talent since Ponting. Ponting, of course, was Oz's last great batter. It's been a while! Can Green finally live up to Chappell's words?

"Cameron Green is likely to prioritise red-ball cricket for Western Australia ahead of limited-overs internationals at the start of the next Australian summer to ensure he has the best possible preparation for the heavyweight Test battle against India.

Despite his all-round skills set being in demand for all formats, selectors opted not to include Green in recent T20I series against West Indies and New Zealand and instead earmarked him for WA's Marsh Sheffield Shield fixture against Tasmania in Hobart.

The 24-year-old duly peeled off an unbeaten 103 in that game, which proved an ideal warm-up for the ensuing first Test against NZ on a similarly bowler-friendly surface at Wellington's Basin Reserve where he was named player of the match for his career-high 174no in his team's thumping win."
