MELBOURNE: All-rounder Cameron Green may be spared white ball duties for Australia to focus on his red ball game ahead of the test series against India in the next home summer, coach Andrew McDonald said.
Glenn Maxwell is a vital cog in Australia's white-ball set up but he must "hold up his end of the bargain" after his "less than ideal" incident in Adelaide, said head coach Andrew McDonald. Last week Maxwell was hospitalised in Adelaide after he got too drunk after attending a concert by 'Six and Out', the band featuring former Australian pacer Brett Lee and passed out. He wasn't kept in the hospital for long and was discharged soon after and is now back in training.
Australia vs West Indies, 2nd Test Day 1 Live Updates: Battling an outbreak of COVID-19 and forecast wild weather, Australia will aim to complete a clean sweep of the summer Test series when they face the West Indies in Brisbane on Thursday. After taming Pakistan 3-0 in December and early January, the world Test champions thumped the West Indies by 10 wickets in Adelaide last week. They are heavily favoured to again sweep past their under-strength opponents in the pink-ball Test at the Gabba, a format at which the Australians excel. However, Covid has hit their camp with allrounder Cameron Green and coach Andrew McDonald the latest to come down with it on Wednesday. (Live Scorecard)

They fell ill after batter Travis Head contracted Covid at the end of the first Test in Adelaide last week, which the hosts won by 10 wickets. He has since tested negative and will play in Brisbane, where the second of the two-Test series -- a day-night affair -- gets underway on Thursday.
MELBOURNE : Australia took a little over two days to wrap up victory in the series opener in Adelaide and a similar fate could befall West Indies in the day-night second and final test in Brisbane beginning on Thursday.
Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was embarrassed after suffering a fall while watching former Australia players perform with pub band 'Six and Out' in Adelaide on Friday last week. Cricket Australia connected with the all-rounder and asked him whether he had suffered any injuries or not after the accident. Maxwell manager Ben Tippett asserted that the player is a little embarrassed after this incident. He said that Maxwell was a bit sore but now he has started training in Melbourne from Monday.
Australia head coach Andrew McDonald opened up on Steven Smith's new batting position in Test cricket and said that it's more about the connection between the two openers. McDonald said that Smith can perform well as an opener once he and Usman Khawaja make the connection. "I suppose it's more just the connection of Usman and Smudge over time," McDonald said when asked about how they are evaluating Smith as an opener as quoted by cricket.com.au. The head coach also praised Smith and said that he is "one of the best problem solvers in the game" for the Aussies.
