Webster is very, very unlucky not to get picked ahead of Inglis.

The selectors and coaches love for Inglis is sorry i dont have a word for it

Hopefully he succeeds but time will tell.

Webster would walk into a,lot of other test sides starting 11

Unless he takes Lyon's spot it is very wrong.

Yes I know, Lyon's don't have spots.

LM made me check the respective stats

Inglis 4 tests 119 runs 1x ton ave 30. 1st class 3246 runs at 36
Webster 7 tests 381 runs 4 x 50 ave 35. 1st class 6253 runs at 37

So yeah Webster is getting the rough end of the Pandanas leaves (noting his time playing at Darwin CC as the interstate recruit)

I'm with LM now!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Add to that Webster's bowling, and the fact that he has delivered in basically every test.

Two of Inglis' three test performances were ordinary.

Russell scoed 102 of his test runs in one innings when we would've scored 1000 if we kept batting, and we were playing against an under 11 team.

The extra bowling option and the fact he has showed up when others haven't gives him the nod for me.

Yep agree. If runs were actually weighted Webster has definitely made the 'tougher' runs.

Also means we can cover 5 slips with just Green and Webster. :lol:

Webster unlucky to initially lose his spot to Green , I can accept that Green is the anointed one- so no prob
But to lose his spot to a wicket keeper is an insult to Webster [ but hopefully Inglis bats well]
Sorry LM , if Webster took Lyons spot, that would have been an absolute insult to a magnificent and well performed player for Australia
LM if Mr Lyon has a shocker by all means quote this post
