Sam Perry

This is off the back of ending 71 red, I think it was, at the beginning of the day's play.

He's not dismissed, and he's averaging 21 with the ball.

All of this is in context with his position...

He doesn't fit into the side because of Cameron Green, right?

And this is just an outstanding performer when he's played for Australia.

It's at 550s in eight test matches for Australia.

It's now a significant contribution with the ball in a test match as well.

He's a great teammate.

There's no question about that.

He's got a bit of Colin Miller about him in terms of his versatility and the funkiness therein, I suppose.

I suppose, like, Green's numbers are fine, right?

And there have been great cricketers in Australian cricket history, even in the current set-up.

Like, Travis Head was on the verge of getting dropped not that long ago.

Then he scores a Boxing Day 100 against the Kiwis, and look what he's achieved now, right?

And Nathan Lyon took ages to get into his assuredness in his career.

Even, like, Steve Waugh.

Steve Waugh's numbers are relatively similar to what Cameron Grant's are now.

And Steve Waugh goes on to achieve these amazing things, right?

And, like, I think the patience and the payoff will be worth it.

And I don't think Cameron Grant's getting dropped anyway, so it's not even worth the conversation.
