Australia National Cricket Team star all-rounder Cameron Green got an incredible escape on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test match after a delivery from Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed came extremely close to hitting his leg stump at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin.
After failing to make any impact in the first innings for Australia, Green came up with a great intent in the second innings, and luck seems to be on his side in the ongoing first Test against England. Earlier, Steve Smith takes review before the umpire’s decision in AUS vs BAN 1st Test.
Cameron Green got a massive lifeline before the drinks break on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test between Australia and Bangladesh in Darwin. Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed bowled a length ball outside off stump, which moved sharply towards Cameron Green.
Australian number five batter tried to play the ball with very little foot movement and ended up getting a thick inside edge. The ball then went dangerously close to the stumps. For a second, it appeared to brush the leg stump before running away towards the fine-leg boundary.
Green managed to get four runs from the shot, but the all-rounder must not have been happy at that moment. Actually, there was a clear sound as the ball passed the stumps. For a moment, it looked like Green had been bowled and that the bail should have fallen. Amid this, Josh Hazlewood joins Australian legends with a six-wicket haul in 1st AUS vs BAN Test.
Technology adds to the drama as ball flies inches away from the stumps
Then the technology came into the picture as there was doubt over whether the ball had actually touched the stump. The technology detected a spike on the snickometer when the ball was next to the leg stump, suggesting that there was contact between the ball and something around the wicket.
However, the bail did not come off. The Echo technology also made the incident even more confusing, as it appeared to show that the ball may have clipped the leg stump while passing.
Well, luck was on Cameron Green's side as the ball came so close to the stump that even technology suggested there was some contact, but because the stumps were intact, the batter survived.

Taskin had done almost everything right with the delivery, but Cameron Green got just too lucky. It was one of those rare moments where a batter can be beaten by the ball, hear the sound of a possible edge or stump contact, see the ball pass dangerously close to the wicket, and still survive.
Tigers on the hunt in Darwin
Well, the Bangladesh team is in full song in the ongoing two-match Test series opener in Darwin. First, they removed the mighty Australians for just 198 runs in the first inning and then posted a massive 426 runs in their first inning to take a 228-run lead in the match.
Now, the touring side has already taken four wickets with Australia’s current score reading 138 in the second inning. The hosts are still training with 95+ runs, and the Tigers must be aiming not to let this momentum slip from their hands as they would love to take those six wickets as soon as possible.
