In a series of fighting events, Australia's star all-rounder Cameron Green created history in Darwin on Sunday, August 16 after producing a sensational century in the second innings of the opening Test against Bangladesh. The 27-year-old all-rounder completed his century in 192 balls at the Marrara Cricket Ground, becoming the third Australian batter ever to record a Test hundred in Darwin.

Green's landmark inning also carried wight of significance as it marked his maiden Test century on Australian soil since making his red-ball debut against India in December 2020.

Earlier, Darren Lehmann and Steve Waugh were the only Aussie batters to scored a century in a Test at Dawrin. The duo achieved the feat against Bangladesh in June 2003, with Lehmann scoring 110 and Waugh remaining unbeaten on 100.
