All-rounder Cameron Green entered his name in the record books on Sunday (August 16) by becoming only the third Australian cricketer and the first since 2003 to score a Test century in Darwin. The 27-year-old batting all-rounder needed 192 balls to reach the 100-run mark for the Baggy Greens in the second innings of the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin.

Green’s century on Sunday is his first hundred in a home Test and his third overall in the five-day format.

He made his Test debut for Australia in December 2020 against India but had never managed to score a Test century on home soil.

The previous two Australian batters to score Test centuries at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin were Darren Lehmann and Steve Waugh. They scored 110 and an unbeaten 100, respectively, against Bangladesh in the June 2003 Test.

The only other player apart from these three Australians to score a Test century in Darwin is Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who scored 101 runs in the first innings of the ongoing Test between Australia and Bangladesh.

Green is also the fourth Australian to score a century in an international match played in Darwin. Ricky Ponting also scored a century in Darwin when he smashed 101 runs against Bangladesh in an ODI at the venue on August 6, 2003.
