Green struggled again in the first Test, contributing only 18 runs in Australia\u2019s 159-run victory. But on Saturday, at a critical moment in the second Test, Green delivered a determined 52, steadying the innings alongside Steve Smith in a vital 93-run partnership. His knock has helped Australia close day three on 221 for seven, with a commanding 254-run lead as they look to bat West Indies out of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYou always need innings here and there just to get you back and get you going, hopefully today was certainly one of those,\u201d Green reflected after play. \u201cA lot of good things I can get out of just spending time in the middle.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Green acknowledged that while the big scores haven\u2019t come, he\u2019s seeing progress. \u201cI think the balls faced has been trending up. The runs haven\u2019t been there, but there\u2019s certainly little positives I can take out of it. Hopefully, my output can be a little bit better than it has been, but today was a nice sign that things are hopefully trending well.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With two days remaining, Green\u2019s gritty knock has not only strengthened Australia\u2019s position in the Test but also given him the platform to re-establish himself in the team\u2019s top order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
