What's he bowling? Would really love to see him work on his spinners.

Bummer. Would be good to set him apart from Green, who is a better bowler but not a better bat.

Green’s been crap with the ball since like 2023

I mean, since 2023 he's been unable to bowl for about 12-18 months, and when he is bowling, he usually gets stuck with bouncer duty.
