Golden Green form boosts Australia ahead of Test championship final

“I feel sorry in a way, doing it against the same opposition. But you take them when they come. We played a couple of shots, the crowd got up, and you felt like you were really on top of them.”
An apology for making a hundred against the same opposition marks Green as still the gentlest of giants, but his upward trend has demonstrated that one of the truisms of the 25-year-old’s career thus far is also still in evidence.
When Green has struggled at Test level it has often been to do with switching formats quickly. In 2023 on his last visit to England, Green had made his first Test hundred in India, but followed that with several months at the Indian Premier League, and returned a paltry 134 runs at 19.14 in four matches on the subsequent Test championship and Ashes tour.
Green has also battled a common rite of passage for young players – that of shuffling between different batting positions before gaining a settled berth. That has been most evident in white-ball cricket for Australia, where he has batted everywhere from opening to number eight across ODIs and T20 games so far.
