This strange new world where Cam Green is now the single most reliable batter in the Australian lineup is amazing. #AUSvBAN 🏏

He was always reliable. You could always rely on him to get out cheaply.

Australia needed only took 3 balls to finish it off winning by an innings and 51 runs. Bangladesh become the first team to be bowled out for under 100 in both innings of a test since Zimbabwe v NZ at Harare in August 2005. Shame the good folk of Mackay didn't get better value #TheCricket #AUSvBAN
