Cameron Green<\/a> further cemented himself in the Australian<\/a> middle-order with a well-made 65 on day two of the third Test against South Africa<\/a>, batting in a 126-run partnership with Matthew Renshaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But he was given a life earlier in the day, when the third umpire overturned a catch in the slips.<\/p>\n

Cameron Green was given not out after the third umpire determined this catch had not carried to Simon Harmer at slip.\u00a0Fox Sports<\/p>\n

In the third over after lunch, Green \u2013 then on just 22 \u2013 tentatively pushed at a good length ball from Gerald Coetzee and succeeded only in getting an edge to Simon Harmer at slip.<\/p>\n

The Proteas celebrated, but Green stood his ground. After a brief consultation, the on-field umpires sent it upstairs to third umpire Chris Gaffaney.<\/p>\n

Replays from front-on appeared to show the ball touching the ground, but the side-on view was less conclusive.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Gaffaney determined he had seen enough to rule in Green\u2019s favour and flashed the green light on the big screen, triggering a round of boos.<\/p>\n

“Well, well, when you looked at the replay from front on it might have caused some doubt, but looking from side-on, it looked like it had possibly gone straight into the fingers and then rolled up his hand,” Natalie Germanos said in commentary for SuperSport.<\/p>\n

“South Africa were convinced that was out.”<\/p>\n

And the Proteas had sympathy from legendary Aussie commentator Gerard Whateley on SEN.<\/p>\n

“If I’m South African, I’m not rapt with that. It fits the definition of a catch, to my eye,” he said.<\/p>\n

The wicket would have left Australia teetering at 3-99. Instead, Green and Renshaw would put on a further 85 runs for the third wicket before Marco Jansen dismissed both in quick succession.<\/p>\n

In a twist of irony, it was Harmer who took Green\u2019s catch \u2013 a sharp chance at a wide slip. His reaction suggested he might not have cleanly picked up the ball off the bat.<\/p>\n

Alex Carey and Josh Inglis would then put on 145 for the fifth wicket, and carry the Aussies to stumps at 4-330<\/a>, with a lead of one run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cameron Green further cemented himself in the Australian middle-order with a well-made 65 on day two of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-944410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
