Overview
- Australia clinched the Ashes by winning the first three Tests, while Green produced 76 runs at an average of 19 and took two wickets.
- Speaking on The ICC Review, Ricky Ponting advised Green to avoid over‑analysing, replicate his domestic game, and commit to one method.
- Ponting noted Green’s recent back surgery and said his bowling pace is probably down on where it was a year ago.
- Green’s Rs 25.20 crore purchase by Kolkata Knight Riders at the IPL mini auction has intensified scrutiny of his current Test output.
- Ponting said the faith shown in Green has squeezed opportunities for Beau Webster, as the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne offers Green a quick chance to respond.
