Message: [QUOTE="Fitzy, post: 3690691, member: 9881"] You have to remember that Green had the undesirable job of batting at 6. The runs were always scored. He was never put in a position to benefit himself and usually when he was he would come close to a 100. I think his only shortcoming from batting at 6 is the lack of converting scores into 100’s. I think he played that role to the best of his ability, it just wasn’t him who should have played that role. Any surprises that in the first full series of him batting at 4 he scored a 100. It was dead obvious it was a bloke batting wildly out of position. He cannot go back there. You have to remember for a good chunk of Greens career at 6, pretty much every time both set batsman would get out the second he came in and Carey and Cummins were about as reliable for runs in that period as a broken condom. Doesn’t really give you great support to lay a foundation, he had to go out there and be more aggressive (to continue the momentum of heady) than what he would have wanted. I think it has given him a great learning platform in a period where we weren’t lacking quality batsman so that’s good. Now it’s his turn to step up at 4. [/QUOTE]
