I'll take Chappell's opinions over yours just now on ABC.
Still got less misses than Healy and Marsh in their first four test.
He's got the rest of the series and the next tour.
I'm encouraged that he is going for them after the last two tests.
His foundations of keeping a very good, now it's about mindset confidence in both his batting and 'keeping

Ian Chappell would have Green out of the team for the tests in the subcontinent. According to Chappell, and he knows a lot more about cricket than most of us, Green would not even get a bowl in the upcoming tests coming up, so there is no place for him because you could then play both Head and Khawaja in the middle order.
The only concern I would have there is that if you were to play two spinners, you would need Green as the first change pace bowler.
Potentially but the fact that he would give you a 3rd pace option as the allrounder would give him a decent chance of playing. If he plays you can then have;
Cummins
Hazelwood/Starc
Green
Lyon
Swepson
If Starc was to get a game then Green definitely plays as Starc is only used in 4-5 over bursts.
Depends on the pitches in India/Pakistan in the recent test series between India and NZ the first test saw Southee and Jamieson take 8 wickets in the first innings and 6 in the second innings so the majority of wickets and the game was a draw. The second test was the complete opposite which saw the spinner take all 10 but NZ got smashed.
The out of the square option you have on a dust bowl is you play Cummins/Green as the pacemen, still have 2 frontline spinners plus Head and Labuschagne and have a heap more batting depth. India have been playing 3 spinners in tests over there but i don't think there is any need for us to do that given we barely have 2 spinners good enough for test level and we have Head and Labu.
Warner
Harris
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Khawaja
Green
Carey
Cummins
Lyon
Swepson

Is it any surprise though that's it been on Australia's most bowler friendly pitches in 20 years.
I don't think there has been anyone question Starcs high end talent the critism has always been about him bowling on pitches that don't offer swing or seam.

Whilst Cummins and Starc are making runs, so would I. Starc is the no1 allrounder in the world, so why would we have Green in the side as the allrounder in that case?
Don't get me wrong, I pegged Green to have a breakout series but it just hasn't happened. He's looked menacing when bowling (remembering it's against England though!) but will that occur on turning dusty pitches on the subcontinent?
Its that fifth bowling option which makes Green so valuable. You cant really measure it but i think Cummins, Starc and Hazelwood would love getting that extra half an hour break to be able come back from each spell fresher.

Didn't help him with that drop though, hard to defend him there but like Cameron Green he's not going anywhere at the moment.

The last series between India and NZ over there no team played 3 seamers. They both played 2 seamers and 3 spinners.

Did Chappell mention Healy and Marsh were 23 and 24 years old when they debuted so were only still very young. Carey is a 30 year old, he aint getting any more agile.
