'Little Positives I Can Take': Green Sees Light After Lean Run At Number 3
World Test Championship: Cameron Green hopes his fighting half-century on day three of the second Test against West Indies in Grenada marks a turning point in what has been a challenging run of form at the top of Australia’s order. Promoted to bat at No. 3 during last month’s World Test Championship final, Green managed just four runs in a disappointing return to Test cricket after more than a year out. Despite that, skipper Pat Cummins backed the 26-year-old all-rounder as a long-term option at first drop, giving him a continued run during the three-match series in the Caribbean.
Green struggled again in the first Test, contributing only 18 runs in Australia’s 159-run victory. But on Saturday, at a critical moment in the second Test, Green delivered a determined 52, steadying the innings alongside Steve Smith in a vital 93-run partnership. His knock has helped Australia close day three on 221 for seven, with a commanding 254-run lead as they look to bat West Indies out of the match.
“You always need innings here and there just to get you back and get you going, hopefully today was certainly one of those,” Green reflected after play. “A lot of good things I can get out of just spending time in the middle.”
