Western Australia have gone to stumps at 0-87 in reply to South Australia’s 215 on the opening day<\/p>\n
Western Australia v South Australia | Sheffield Shield | Day 1<\/p>\n
Cameron Green won’t bowl in a match again until the week before the Ashes, after being kept from sending a ball down in Western Australia’s Sheffield Shield match against South Australia.<\/p>\n
WA went to stumps on the opening day at the WACA on 0-87 after bowling out the visitors for 215.<\/p>\n
Cameron Bancroft showed some signs of returning to form with an unbeaten 52, after Corey Ricchiccioli (3-35) and Matt Kelly (3-49) did the damage with the ball.<\/p>\n
But most notable was the fact that Green did not bowl, on return from the minor side soreness that ruled him out of Australia’s ODI series against India.<\/p>\n
The allrounder has been back bowling at full intensity in the nets this week, and a cautious approach is expected to have him bowling in the next Shield game.<\/p>\n
Green took two catches for WA, the first a flying effort at gully to remove the dangerous Ben Manenti.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His second was just as notable, given he was left holding his right bowling hand in pain after clutching onto a soundly-hit ball from Jake Lehmann (96) at cover.<\/p>\n
Green appeared in some pain as he left the field, but team officials confirmed the 26-year-old did not suffer a serious injury.<\/p>\n

Ruled out of last summer through back surgery, Green bowled for the first time when he sent down four overs against NSW in the opening round of the Shield.<\/p>\n
But he did not bowl in the second innings of that match, as officials did not want him bowling on back-to-back days.<\/p>\n
He then pulled up sore with the minor side issue, ruling him out of Australia’s ODIs against India.<\/p>\n
Western Australia have one more Shield game before the first Test against England, against Queensland in Perth from November 11.<\/p>\n
Tuesday’s developments came as fellow allrounder Beau Webster conceded he expected to be squeezed out of Australia’s Test team if Green is fit to bowl.<\/p>\n
Slashing Lehmann plays lone hand, just misses ton<\/p>\n
Lehmann provided the only real resistance for South Australia on Tuesday, with his 96 continuing a superb start to the summer for the 33-year old.<\/p>\n
The left-hander drove to the cover boundary frequently, and produced the shot of the day late with an audacious scoop off Liam Haskett that went for six.<\/p>\n
But no other South Australian passed 25 as the hosts’ bowlers built pressure, before the visitors’ quicks were guilty of being too loose after tea.<\/p>\n
Bancroft accelerated out of the blocks to at one stage be 28 off 22 balls, while Sam Whiteman also went to stumps unbeaten, on 30.<\/p>\n
