"Does Cameron Green have pics of the selectors?" - Fans react sarcastically to all-rounder's twin failure with bat in SA vs AUS WTC 2025 final

Australian all-rounder Cameron Green looked clueless with the bat again on Day 2 of the WTC 2025 final against Australia in Lord's, London on Thursday, June 12. The right-hander batter departed for a two-ball duck. He fell again to the same Proteas bowler, Kagiso Rabada, who got him caught behind again in Australia's second innings.

Green had earlier departed for four runs off three deliveries in the first essay. This was his first game after missing the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy and away Tests in Sri Lanka due to multiple injuries.

Fans on X roasted Cameron Green for his below-par outing with the bat in the WTC 2025 final. One user wrote:
