Cameron Green, an Australian all-rounder, appeared dumb with the bat again on Day 2 of the WTC 2025 final against Australia at Lord’s in London on Thursday, June 12. For a two-ball duck, the right-hander batter left the field. In the second innings of Australia, he was caught behind once more by the same Proteas bowler, Kagiso Rabada.
In the first essay, Green had already left for four runs off three deliveries. After missing the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the away Test matches in Sri Lanka because of several injuries, this was his first match.
Cameron Green’s poor batting performance in the WTC 2025 final drew criticism from fans on X. A user wrote:
“Does Cameron Green have pics of the selectors? The guy is a fraud.”
Another user commented:
“The obsession with Cameron Green needs to end..”
A third user added:
“Cameron Green should honestly retire from Test cricket. This format is not for him.”
