Makes you wonder what the selectors have been doing in neglecting Webster for so long? Do they actually watch cricket, he looks a proper Test no 5 or 6.
Cue a wicket ;)

He does look the goods doesn’t he.

What happens when Green is fit if Webster continues to play well?

They didn’t bloody poke the bear so it’s absolutely unfathomable that the Australian bowlers can now come out and show greater intent and effort.

The pitch will flatten out as soon as Aus start batting again 8)

I think Green could be the answer at the top of the order, would love to see him open for WA when shield starts up again if available. Can be Uzzys replacement.
He's certainly a top 4 batter

I watched this cricket at AO three weeks ago

This is the cricket Konstas needs to learn to play not the reckless front leg to mid wicket slicing it to mid off.
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!!!

Did he poke the Aussie top order?


obviously, and he got the timing right, not too early so that it didnt have an effect, there was probably a secondary poke required between Tests so that it didnt lose its effectiveness

Webster 2nd
Konstas 3rd, took Bumrah out of his comfort zone, he tried to hard, got injured and averaged 22 himself ;)
