WTC Final 2023: Cameron Green in no mood to curb his attacking game | Cricket News
Citing England’s successful ‘Bazball’ approach in the longest format, Green pointed out that there is no need to curb one’s natural attacking approach just because of the change of format.
The WTC final between India and Australia starts at the Oval on Wednesday and will be followed by 5-Test Ashes series between arch-rivals England and Australia.
“The way that England have been playing their cricket has been quite aggressive, so maybe you don’t have to change too much,” Green was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au ahead of the WTC Final to be held at The Oval starting Wednesday.
“Probably starting (my innings) last year, I probably looked to defend a bit too much instead of just looking to score. Then you can defend after when you see a good ball, just making good decisions out there.
“So this time round, it will be looking to score, and then if it’s a good ball, defend,” he added.
“The more you get exposed to it, the easier it gets. That’s what I’m trying to take into it this time making the change. I kind of know what worked last time and what didn’t, so I’m just trying to learn how to adjust quicker and better,” said Green.
Besides batting, Green is a vital cog in Australia pace attack and the 24-year-old is looking forward to the challenge of bowling with Dukes ball in English conditions.
“Everyone, especially being a bowler, looks forward to coming over here (England) with the swing,” he said.
“Normally, when I bowl in Australia, it’s not doing too much so I’m pretty excited that there’s something I can use over here.
“A few of the guys talk about it swinging a bit too much – so (I’m) just getting the skillsets up with the wobble seam and just playing around with all that.”
