Australian debutant Beau Webster is having a terrific outing with the bat in the ongoing SCG Test, scoring a well-deserved 50 and fighting at a point when other batters seemed to struggle. After doing a decent job with the ball, where he controlled the run flow against India in the SCG Test, Webster is now doing his job with the bat. Surely, his 9 years of domestic cricket is paying off.
Making his debut at the age of 31, this Tasmanian local has impressed everyone, particularly with the bat. He recently received his Baggy Green from former cricketer Mark Waugh, and it’s fair to say that his patience gained from playing Sheffield Shield cricket is paying off. While Australia’s batters were dismantled in the first few overs of today’s game, thanks to Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah, Webster has been steady with the bat. It will be interesting to see how he approaches the innings from here. Currently, Australia is still behind by a few runs with 4 wickets remaining. The most concerning news is that Bumrah has gone for scans, which is certainly not a good sign for India’s bowling attack. Many things are in play for this decisive test, and the match is now in balance, despite India posting just 185 in their first innings.
