Australia are on top of the proceedings in the second Test against South Africa with a clinical display from the batting unit. The scorecard involved two centurions - David Warner and Alex Carey. Carey played a knock of 111 runs in the match but the team spirit showed by his batting partner Cameron Green became one of the memorable moments of the game.
Marco Jansen was bowling the 133rd over of the innings and Carey played a stroke from backfoot to the right of the cover fielder on the second ball. The ball was played in the gap and the batters had ample opportunity to run three. Carey was on verge of his century as he was playing on 98. However, as soon as both the batters started running for the first run, Cameron Green started celebrating his partner’s ton.
Green lifted up both his hands in the air to display his excitement for the milestone completed by Carey. Twitterati noticed the bonding between the two players and praised Green for his team spirit against South Africa.
See Green!
