Fox Cricket reported that Webster has been added to the squad for the day-night Test at Adelaide, beginning December 6.

바카라(Marsh) He has been battling a couple of little niggles since the UK tour,바카라 Australian captain Pat Cummins said following the 295-run loss to India.

바카라He was a little sore towards the end of this Test match (Perth), so the next 10 days he has a chance to freshen up and try to get it right. We바카라ll see how he goes.바카라

If Marsh doesn't recover in time for the second Test, Webster could be handed a debut.

The 30-year-old hails from Tasmania and has been one of the star performers in the Sheffield Shield over the past two years, collecting 1788 runs including five hundreds and nine fifties. He is also a right-arm pacer like Marsh.

He starred in Tasmania's Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales earlier this week, striking a 61 and 49 besides taking five wickets.

바카라(Webster바카라s) a special player at the moment,바카라 Tasmanian captain Jordan Silk told reporters after the domestic game.

바카라Anytime I feel like we바카라re in trouble, I feel like I can throw him the ball and he just seems to be able to create something, or anytime we바카라re in similar trouble with the bat then he바카라s able to dig us out of it.

바카라He showed his class again this game with valuable runs, first and second innings, and then obviously to take the last two wickets."

Despite the heavy defeat, Australia are unlikely to make wholesale changes to their playing eleven and have retained the same squad for the Adelaide fixture.
