Brydon Carse hits the bull’s eye to dismiss Cameron Green on the first day of the Boxing Day Test match
Green, who was looking more comfortable after settling down, found himself walking back to the pavilion after a rare moment of miscommunication with his batting partner. Facing a short ball, Green played it defensively down his legs, and with the ball moving away, he instinctively set out to take a quick single. However, his hesitation proved costly. Brydon Carse, who had positioned himself well at mid-on, was quick to react. With great composure, Carse collected the ball cleanly, turned with sharp accuracy and in one motion fired the ball to the non-striker’s end. The throw was perfectly on target, hitting the stumps straight away, leaving Green well off his ground.
Despite Green’s early stability, moments of indecision and Carse’s caution cost him his wicket. It was a brilliant piece of fielding that put the brakes on Australia’s momentum, leaving them in a precarious position at 143/7. Green’s run out was a reminder of how a small lapse in concentration can change the direction of an innings, and it demonstrated Carse’s superb presence of mind and quick reflexes.
