"He's So Valuable": Cameron Green Reveals How Usman Khawaja Helped Him During Ahmedabad Test

Australia all-rounder Cameron Green is seventh time lucky as he has converted a half-century into hundred and now feels more like a Test cricketer with "monkey off your back". Green, who is playing his 20th Test, scored 114 off 170 balls and his innings was no less significant than Usman Khawaja's 180 that took Australia to a solid first innings score of 480 on the second day of the fourth Test against India on Friday. "You feel more like a Test cricketer when you've got that monkey off your back, so it is nice to tick that off in a way. It's so special," Green told reporters at the end of the day's play.

Ind vs Aus, 4th Test, Day 2: India Bundle Out Australia For 480, Post 36/0 At Stumps

Usman Khawaja's resilience found its able ally in Cameron Green's audacious flair as Australia tested India's bowling depth as well as patience to put up a commanding 480 on the second day of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad on Friday. At stumps, Indian openers were also hardly troubled on a track that hasn't deteriorated one bit as Rohit Sharma (17 batting) and Shubman Gill (18 batting) added 36 runs in 10 overs. But to make a match out of it, onus will be on India to score quickly on day three on Saturday. The most awkward time to start an innings is during the last 10 overs of the day but Gill lofted Nathan Lyon for a six down the ground to signal his attacking intent in that short span of time.

"Not A Good Thing For Test Cricket": Angelo Mathews' Glaring Remarks Amid WTC Final Race With India

Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews lamented the lack of Test cricket for Sri Lanka as the Dimuth Karunaratne-led side chase a potential spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. The last time Sri Lanka played a Test match before facing New Zealand on Thursday was back in July 2022 when they took on Pakistan.

However, Mathews was not happy with the lack of games for his side and said that the calendar needs to be reorganised.
