While Smith showed the class of a man who has more than 10,000 runs in the bank to pick apart the Windies attack on a tricky pitch still offering sporadic low bounce, it was the composure of Green during his 123-ball knock that will please the Australian hierarchy the most and equally for those of us that have backed the big West Aussie.

Yeah Smith just looked completely class. Green was very gritty, left well and put away the cover drive for a bit after it almost got him in trouble. He got the return for it by making a 50 and also faced the 2nd most balls of any innings this series (123) behind Khawaja in the first innings of the series (128).

Very gritty innings from Green, good to see him face a ton of balls after a pretty soft start to his tenure at 3.

He looked like a number 3 bat last night.

I was even more impressed how he has matured so much and now really values his wicket, he was really pissed off how he got out.
