Green gears up for major role

Buoyed Buoyed by his batting performance against New Zealand, Australia's Cameron Green hopes to make an impact not just by bowling those 'graveyard overs', but also by contributing with the bat in the highprofile India series beginning at his home ground in Perth on November 22.

The hosts will look to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time since the 2014-15 season as India have won the following four series, including the historic triumphs in 2018-19 and 202021.

The marquee series will be a five-Test affair for the first time in three decades.

"Definitely at the moment I'm very happy to contribute as much as I can. Physically I'm in a really good place to be able to do that," the 25-yearold told cricket.​com.au.

"We always laugh and joke between me and Mitch (Marsh) about who bowls those graveyard overs between the 70th and the 80th overs when the ball is not doing anything. We'll wait and see how we do it this summer.
