‘Reverse ramping on Day 1…confrontation with Virat were the two catalysts that shot him up 200k’ Beau Webster on Sam Konstas’ spike in Instagram followers | Cricket News

Australia handed the debut caps to Sam Konstas and Beau Webster at MCG and SCG respectively. However, the latter did acknowledge that he did not have a spike in Instagram followers as the teenager Konstas did. “Certainly don’t have 200,000. I think the reverse ramping on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test and the confrontation with Virat were the two catalysts that shot him up 200k. But no, the Instagram following certainly increased but not to that scale. He’s an overnight sensation,” speculated 31-year-old Webster on Willow Talk on why there was a spike in followers for Konstas. Konstas did spring in a surprise when he decided to scoop Jaspirt Bumrah on Day 1 of the MCG Test. Bumrah till the point was the best bowler in the series. Konstas’ approach ensured that Bumrah missed his accuracy in his first spell. The innings got under the skin of the Indian players and Virat Kohli in that game went onto shoulder barge young Konstas for which Kohli later was fined by ICC. Webster’s fairytale Unlike …

‘That’s something that might never happen again’: Beau Webster reacts to hitting winning shot against IND in 5th Test | Cricket News

Australia’s Beau Webster who made his debut against India in the 5th Test said he would cherish the moment forever of when he smacked a 4 off Washington Sundar to end the match and helped his country reclaim the Border Gavaskar Trophy. “When I hit that cut-shot boundary, I saw we only needed four (to win) and I thought, ‘It’s got to be one of these two balls – how many chances are you going to get to hit a boundary for the winning runs for your country?’ I was going to go no matter where that ball was, that last one, and managed to make connection. I looked straight at ‘Heady’ (batting partner Travis Head) and he was up and about,” Webster said to cricket.com.au. “It was a great moment, probably one I’ll never forget. That’s something that might never happen again – especially a boundary on the fifth Test of a decider. It doesn’t get much better than that,” he added.

“Was Pretty Confident”: Australia Debutant Beau Webster On Fourth Innings Run Chase vs India

Published by Webster

Beau Webster had a debut to remember in the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney. Replacing Mitchell Marsh in the Australian squad, Webster made an instant impact with both bat and ball, playing a crucial role in Australia’s 3-1 series victory, reclaiming the trophy after a 10-year wait. The all-rounder bowled 17 overs, providing much-needed support to the pace trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Scott Boland. He also claimed the key wicket of Indian opener Shubman Gill. With the bat, Webster impressed with scores of 57 and an unbeaten 39*, finishing the game in style by hitting the winning runs for Australia. Reflecting on his debut, Webster said, “It definitely wasn’t looking like that a few days ago… it’s been a hell of a game. I probably couldn’t ask for much more on day two. It was a hell of a fixture. It was a great crowd, great atmosphere, and three days there was great,” as quoted by ESPNcricinfo. Webster spoke about his mindset when walking out …

Australia’s Beau Webster who made his test debut at the Sydney test opens on the series victory says “It’s been a hell of a game”. Pat Cummins and Co won the five match test series by 3-1 after the third game ended as a draw. Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 will be the first Test series between India and Australia comprising five matches since 1992. When we look back at the India National Cricket Team vs Australia Cricket Team Timeline, Australia hasn’t won the BGT title since the 2014/15 season. With the 3-1 series victory, Australia claimed the Border Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years and rewrites history. The series victory also pushed Australia into the WTC 2023-25 final set to be played between June 11 and 15 in Lord’s, London. During the post-match conversation, debutant Beau Webster opened up on the series victory and praised the home crowd for their support throughout the series. “It’s been a hell of a game, couldn’t have asked for much more.

“He’s Going to Challenge” Debutant Beau Webster on Facing Bumrah at SCG Pitch

Published by Webster

The all-rounder Beau Webster feels that facing Indian pacer Bumrah at SCG on the fifth match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy could be a challenging one as the pitch helps seamers and Australia did not place his finger on an ideal first-innings score. Australia wrapped up India for 185 runs and ended day 01 with 9/1 losing Khawaja to Bumrah‘s spell. He also credited Australian bowlers for exploiting the seamer-friendly conditions which helped them a lot to restrict India below 200. He also explained bowling full deliveries to induce front-foot shots, with Scott Boland leading the charge. Webster praised Boland’s ability to maintain pressure to bag four wickets. “Think there’s definitely a method to go about batting on this wicket. But Jasprit is a world-class bowler and no doubt he’s going to challenge our whole batting group. He’s phenomenal with his lengths and lines, it is going to be tough on a wicket that will offer a fair bit for him,” said Webster. Fiery scenes in the final over at the SCG! How’s that for …

Border Gavaskar Trophy: Meet Beau Webster: Australian cricket’s ‘Garfield’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With a bit of uncertainty over ‘sore’ Mitch Marsh’s availability for the Second Pink Ball Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy starting at Adelaide Oval from December 6, the spotlight has been on 30-year-old Tasmanian all-rounder Beau Webster. The six foot five inch tall all-rounder has been named in the Australian squad for the second Test as a likely cover for ‘sore’ Mitch Marsh. The Tasmanian all-rounder, who had scored 938 runs and took 30 wickets in last Shield season, shared how he would get a text from his team-mates terming him as Garfield, in reference to legendary West Indian great Sir Garfield Sobers. The West Indian legend had also played for South Australia in the title-winning 1963-64 season, where he scored 973 runs and took 47 wickets. “It was pretty special, no doubt. I suppose it’s a little bit embarrassing when you get likened to someone like that. I always get a text from some of the boys around the country if I do well, just the one word: ‘Garfield’. But it’s some …

‘You drop Boland out’: Ian Healy bats for Beau Webster to be added to Australia Playing XI for 2nd Test vs India at Adelaide | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Former Australian player Ian Healy said that Beau Webster should be part of the playing XI and not be just a standby in the upcoming pink ball fixture against India at Adelaide next week. “I like that, but I don’t reckon standby, get him in. I don’t really like just adding him to the squad unless he’s going to play, drop the 12th man,” Healy said on SEN Radio. The selectors added the Tasmanian all-rounder to the squad for the second Test as a cover for Mitchell Marsh who had pulled up sore at the Perth Test after bowling the most overs he has in a Test match in three years. Healy said if Marsh, who is currently managing an ankle issue, is moved up the batting order in case he can’t chip in much with the bowling, Webster should slot in the XI which will leave Scott Boland out. “You drop Boland out … and add Beau Webster. He’s through his injury phases. He’s massive, he’s 2m tall and he’s performed at every level …

Australia Add Uncapped All-Rounder Beau Webster To Squad For BGT 2nd Test vs India

Published by Webster

Australia have added uncapped all-rounder Beau Webster to the squad for the second Test against India as cover for Mitchell Marsh, whose fitness remains a concern. Marsh had pulled up “sore” following Australia’s 295-run hammering in the series opener in Perth earlier this week. Webster, also a right-hand pace all-rounder like Marsh, has been the stand out performer in the Sheffield Shield over the past two years. The 30-year-old has collected 1788 runs including five hundreds and nine fifties. He starred in Tasmania’s Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales earlier this week, striking a 61 and 49 besides taking five wickets. “To get a few runs and wickets (for Australia A) was pleasing against a strong Indian side,” Webster was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au ahead of the announcement on Thursday. “Any time you’re playing ‘A’ cricket, it’s the one step below Test level, so it does hold you in good stead. To get the call from ‘Bails’ (men’s selection chair George Bailey) at the end of the NSW game was a …
