Green Has Got To Find Method And Tempo With His Batting: Ponting
New Delhi: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting highlighted significant weaknesses in Cameron Green's performances before what is likely to be a pivotal fifth Ashes Test, saying that Green needs to find a more effective method with his batting.

Despite his strong Sheffield Shield form, which shows his ability, his Test average sits at 32.25, and expectations are beginning to rise as patience fades, even with his obvious talent at 26. Ponting also believes Greens frequent changes in batting position have undermined his confidence.
