World Test Championship Final hopeful earns praise following County cameo
While Green failed to back-up his knock of 112 when dismissed for just three in Gloucestershire's second innings, the Australian did more than enough to catch the eye of his County coach and former England international Mark Alleyne.
Alleyne spoke of Green's influence on his squad since he arrived in England and believes the tall all-rounder is already making a strong impression.
"Of course we like his (Green's) runs in the middle, but being an overseas (player) and coming into a club is much more than just performances in the middle," Alleyne told the team's social media channels after Gloucestershire's match with Kent finished as a draw.
"What he had done prior to that, his practice was great, he is such a good lad and he communicates well about the game.
"Already without the 100 he had started to make an impact on the group so that has really consolidated the start to his Gloucestershire career and he scored such an important 100 at a tricky time for us."

Formula 1 sponsorship revenue over $2bn in 2024
Formula 1 is hot on the tail of the big dog of professional sports marketing, the NFL, and cleared $2.04 billion in sponsorship revenue in 2024. SponsorUnited, which tracks sponsorship and advertising takes across sports, had F1 and its teams behind only the NFL at $2.5 billion in total sponsorship revenue. The total advertising spend for F1 in 2025 is on course to exceed $2.5 billion, according to Ampere Analysis. But major US sponsors such as American Express and IBM still are flowing in with the circuit catapulting in popularity off the success of Netflix series Drive to Survive while thriving under the control of Liberty Media. F1 tops the NBA, MLB and NHL and its racing teams each accounted for more than $6 million, according to the report, which breaks down the airbox and sidepod ad placement cost at more than $5 million for the most popular drivers on the circuit. Tops among individual sponsor agreements with F1 is the 10-year, $1 billion pact with luxury conglomerate LVMH, which holds a portfolio anchored by TAG Heuer, Louis Vuitton and Hennessy. The largest sponsor for any F1 team is the Williams contract with Australian software corporation Atlassian valued at a reported $25 million to $30 million per year. On the NFL side, the most significant singular sponsorship commitment is with Pepsi. That contract is worth a reported $2 billion over 10 years for exclusive rights at all NFL events and use of the league's trademark in advertising. With F1, Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren are the highest earners in the sponsorship category. Car and driver technology accounts for nearly $500 million in partner income for the 10 teams, according to the report.

Tottenham sack manager Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur have sacked manager Ange Postecoglou, the club said on Friday, despite the Australian guiding the club to their first major trophy in 17 years with victory in the Europa League final last month. Postecoglou will leave two years to the day after his appointment. Spurs beat Manchester United in Bilbao to win the Europa League and book their place in next season's Champions League, but a dismal domestic campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job. "The Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place," Spurs said in a statement. "Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. "At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph." Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League last season, fuelling pressure on the 59-year-old in his second year at the helm.
