Former Australia batsman and mentor urges the team to persist with allrounder Cameron Green, arguing that the current Ashes struggles will strengthen his development and long-term value.

He emphasizes Green’s talent and belief that the tough series will build resilience, with the expectation that Green will return a bigger and better player.

The mentor notes the series could be formative as Australia gears up for roughly 20 Tests in 12 months from August, reinforcing Green’s growth trajectory.

Green’s form has been inconsistent, averaging 21.28 with a top score of 45, and he failed to convert starts, including a dismissal at the SCG on day three.

He struggled to convert starts, managing 37 off 64 in the latest innings, and remains short of building big scores for the series so far.

Overall Ashes average sits at 21.28 with a highest score of 45, coupled with a key overstep on a delivery at the SCG.

Beau Webster’s unbeaten 42 on day three added to the competition for the allrounder role, though Green remains the preferred long-term option according to Hussey.

Webster’s 42 not out on his series debut signaled fresh competition for the allrounder slot as play progressed, while Green’s dismissal came from a premeditated shot off Brydon Carse.

Webster was added to the crease at 42 not out on day three, highlighting the emerging challenge to Green’s first-choice status in the role.

Green’s bowling has yielded four wickets at 60.75, and he overstepped on a ball at the SCG, illustrating ongoing technical and situational hurdles.

Hussey notes Green was Australia’s third-top run-scorer at No. 3 during a West Indies comeback, suggesting a high ceiling despite current form concerns.
