“The calmness he has out in the middle is so evident,” Green told ICC. “He's obviously been there and done that for 10 years. To be out there with him and just talk through a situation was awesome.
“My role was trying to be aggressive and then he obviously showed ways to go about it, whether it was attacking spin, attacking pace, kind of picking your bowler in a way.”
Green has amassed 371 runs from nine innings with an average of 41.22. Also, his solitary Test hundred came against India in Ahmedabad Test played in March. Reflecting on the key batters from the opposition team, the Australian cricketer praised Virat Kohli for being the cricketer to shine in big moments. Also, he expressed his enthusiasm ahead of the WTC final.
“Virat Kohli. I think he always tries to be the man to stand up in big moments. A World Test Championship is obviously a massive moment, so I look forward to that. There is nothing like Test cricket when you're kind of out in the middle. Obviously, your nerves are running really high. I think the best players are the best ones that are able to handle that,” he added.
