Green stands tall amidst early jitters.

After an early collapse, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green saved the tourists by counter punching fifty at the Basin Reserve, defying New Zealand’s pace attack.

With the first breakthrough of the morning, New Zealand swiftly, Matt Henry dismissed Australian opener Steve Smith for 31. Henry nicked a length delivery away from right-hander Smith less than fifteen minutes before the lunch break at Basin Reserve. Wicketkeeper Tom Blundell dived across the slips cordon to complete the catch.

After lunch break

New Zealand fast Scott Kuggeleijn produced an exquisite delivery after the midday meal, finding Marnus Labuschagne’s outside edge. Daryl Mitchell collected at first slip for a single.

Henry bowled left-hander Usman Khawaja through the gate with a peach, castling him with a hooping in swinger.

Will O’Rourke bowled a wide ball, mishandled by Travis Head, who feathered it to Blundell for a single. Following a counter-punching partnership of 67 runs for the fifth wicket between Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh, Henry returned post-tea and dismissed Marsh for 40 runs.

With Green (53*) and Mitchell Starc (8*) at the crease, Australia is 6-206.

Green’s knock came at a crucial juncture in the Australian innings, with the hosts losing three wickets for just 48 runs after electing to bat. The left-hander, known for his aggressive Strokeplay, initially struggled against the swing and pace generated by the Kiwi quicks, especially Tim Southee and Trent Boult. He was watchful early on, leaving several deliveries outside off stump and playing with soft hands to negate the swing.

Patience pays off as Green finds his rhythm.

Gradually, Green began to grow in confidence. He began leaving deliveries that moved away and punished anything loose on his pads or down the leg side. A cover drive off Kyle Jamieson in the afternoon session signaled his growing intent, and he started to middle the ball more consistently.

Counterpunching fifty puts Australia in control

Green’s fifty came off just 84 deliveries, with six fours and a six. He continued to bat patiently alongside Alex Carey, stitching together a crucial partnership that put Australia in a strong position. The duo added 124 runs for the fifth wicket, helping the hosts build a significant lead over New Zealand.

Green’s knock earns praise from experts

Green’s knock was lauded by former cricketers and pundits alike. They praised his temperament and technique, particularly his ability to weather the early storm and play according to the situation. His knock has put Australia in a commanding position in the Test match, and they will be hoping to build on this foundation in the remaining days.

Green’s knock is a sign of things to come.

Green’s fifty is another reminder of his immense talent and potential. At 23, he has already established himself as a vital cog in the Australian batting line-up. His ability to bat against pace bowling and his counterpunching style make him a valuable asset in the Test arena. With continued experience and development, Green has the potential to become one of the best batsmen in the world in the years to come.
