Bangladesh completed a stunning nine-wicket victory over Australia in the first test on Sunday, August 16, securing its first win on Australian soil and only its second victory over the top-ranked Australia.Green was the only constant across Australia’s innings and combined with the tail to help the hosts avoid the ignominy of a home innings defeat and frustrate Bangladesh. The allrounder brought up a deserved century after lunch from 192 balls, with four boundaries and a six. His celebration was understated given the circumstances for his team, but should not detract from what his finest innings for Australia in his 37 matches, many of which have been accompanied by questions as to the merits of his selection in the team. Green’s vigil ended when a delivery from Hasan Mahmud (3-56) kept low and bowled Green for 104. The two-test “Top End” series starts a heavy 12-month schedule for the Australians that will feature 20 test matches, including tours to South Africa, India and England.
