    Chris Green part 2 - looking ahead to the Global Super League!

    Send us Fan Mail It’s time for the second installment of our two-part chat with Chris Green, the Australian off-spinning all-rounder who’s captaining the team in the upcoming ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League in late July and early August. The crux of our conversation this time centred around the tournament to come.   We discussed how many of the Vipers squad for the Global Super League Chris knew ahead of the team assembling in Guyana and he told us about his vast experience of playing in the Caribbean Premier League and how that could be a huge asset for the Vipers.   Chris explained all about the playing surface at Providence Stadium, conditions, and he gave us his thoughts on the teams the Vipers will face in the tournament – the Lahore Qalanders from the Pakistan Super League, hosts and defending champions the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Big Bash League side the Perth Scorchers and the San Francisco Unicorns from Major League Cricket in the United States of America.   Chris also reflected on linking up with Azhar Mahmood, the Vipers’ Head Coach for the tournament, as well as Shane Dowrich, the former West Indies wicketkeeper-batter who’ll be the team’s Assistant Coach. He told us what his preparation will look like to ensure he hits the ground running for the Global Super League.   And finally, Chris got his crystal ball out to give us a prediction for the tournament. It’s a short, sharp event running for less than two weeks, so how optimistic should Vipers fans be?   That’s all coming up with Desert Vipers captain Chris Green so let’s get into it…   https://www.thedesertvipers.com https://twitter.com/TheDesertVipers https://www.instagram.com/thedesertvipers/

    Send us Fan Mail This episode features the first part of our two-part chat with Chris Green, the Australian off-spinning all-rounder who's been named as Vipers captain for the upcoming ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League, the Twenty20 tournament at Providence Stadium from 23 July to 1 August. Chris spoke with us during a break in the ongoing Pakistan Super League, where he is playing with the Islamabad franchise, and we covered a wide range of subjects, including the Vipers captaincy and how the job offer to him came about; Chris’s captaincy mentors and what he thinks his captaincy style is; and his bowling partnership with leg-spinning all-rounder Shadab Khan, who he’s currently alongside at Islamabad, with the pair set to link up again for the Vipers in Guyana.   He gives us the low-down on his background including coming from a family of sports professionals – and how he had to decide on whether to concentrate on tennis or cricket; he reflects on the fact that he really is Australia’s globetrotting Mr T20; he tells us how he’s developed as a cricketer as a batter and bowler; and he speaks about his international aspirations, having previously played T20Is for Australia in 2023.   During the chat Chris references Sam Charnley, the Desert Vipers operations manager and Simon Helmot, the Desert Vipers Assistant Coach during the recent season four of the DP World ILT20.   There’s plenty to get your teeth into as a listener and remember it’s just the first part of two episodes with Chris so after this there’ll be plenty more to come from the man in charge on the field for the Vipers in the Global Super League. https://www.thedesertvipers.com https://twitter.com/TheDesertVipers https://www.instagram.com/thedesertvipers/
