Test bolter emerges amid Cameron Green’s nightmare injury woes

The timing was impeccable.

As reports emerged of Cameron Green’s looming back surgery, which puts him in doubt for the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, another tall all-rounder was celebrating his 12th first-class century at Melbourne Junction’s Oval.

Beau Webster’s 113 against Victoria, which featured 13 boundaries, was his fourth Sheffield Shield hundred since the start of last summer, with the Tasmanian accumulating 1051 runs at 61.82 over the past 12 months.

The 30-year-old, who hails from Snug in Tasmania’s south, was named player of the Sheffield Shield last summer having also taken 카지노사이트 30 wickets at 29.30. The only other cricketer who has bettered his season tally with bat and ball was West Indies legend Garfield Sobers, who represented South Australia during the 1963/64 Sheffield Shield.

He also enjoyed a successful stint at Gloucestershire in the County Championship over the winter, cracking 233 runs at 58.25 and snaring 16 scalps at 21.25, including a career-best bowling performance of 6-100 against Derbyshire.

This week’s century in the Victorian capital has only fuelled intrigue surrounding Webster’s credentials as national selectors ponder how to replace Green for the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

“I feel like I’ve been batting really well for 18 months now,” Webster told reporters at stumps on Thursday.

“I’ve got a routine down pat. Whatever the conditions offer, I feel like I’ve got a game plan that can have some success.”
