Cricket World Player of the Week - Cameron Green, Australia

Green's career-high unbeaten 174 on day one rescued Australia from 89-4, having been put into bat, to reach 383 and set up a decisive 204-run first-innings lead.

Australia captain Pat Cummins heaped praise on team-mates Nathan Lyon and Cameron Green on Sunday for match-winning performances as his side secured a 172-run triumph over New Zealand in the first Test.

It gave Green the nod over Lyon as man of the match and Cummins said that was a fair outcome.

"Cam was amazing, he was really the difference in the end," Cummins said.

"I thought the way he went about it, with that intent, really put the pressure back on the bowlers on day one."
