IND Vs AUS: Did amazing 900 runs and 30 wickets in a single season… Team India has to remain safe, this Kangaroo is returning to Adelaide
Cricket News Desk. The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia is to be played in Adelaide. Team India's morale is high after the one-sided victory in the Perth Test. However, Adelaide Test is not going to be easy for the team. Because last time on this ground, Team India was all out for just 36 runs. For this match, a new player has been entered in the Kangaroo team, whose statistics are strong in domestic cricket. Here we are talking about Beau Webster, who has been included in the Australian team as a cover for Mitchell Marsh for the day-night test.
Marsh suffered a muscle strain after the defeat against Team India in Perth last Monday. Due to this, 30 year old Webster has been kept as a standby player in the team. Regarding this, Cricket Australia said, 'Webster will join the team next week. He was named player of the year in the Sheffield Shield tournament last year and has been in good form this season too.
Webster shines against India A
Webster hails from Tasmania and has been one of the top performers in the Sheffield Shield over the past two years. During this period, he has scored 1788 runs on the basis of five centuries and nine half-centuries. Like Marsh, he is also a right-arm fast bowler. He also had an impressive performance for Tasmania against New South Wales earlier this week, scoring 61 and 49 and taking five wickets.
Webster made history last year
Webster has scored 448 runs at an average of 56 in first-class cricket this season and also taken 16 wickets. He also performed well in the two-match series against India A recently. Last year, Webster surprised everyone with his performance, where he scored more than 900 runs and also took 30 wickets in a single season. Webster became only the second player to do so in its 132-year history. Before him, this feat was done by the great West Indies cricketer Sir Gary Sobers.
