Overview
- Cameron Green bowled two four-over spells for Western Australia in Perth, taking 1-18 and removing opener Angus Lovell.
- Beau Webster strengthened his case with 5-50 for Tasmania against South Australia in Hobart.
- Webster’s batting faltered with scores of 13 and 8, and Tasmania slumped to 9-177 at stumps to lead by 209 after a late collapse.
- If Green is cleared to bowl for the first Test starting 21 November, selectors must weigh Webster’s all-round option against specialist opener Jake Weatherald, which would allow Marnus Labuschagne to bat at No.3.
- Alex Carey top-scored for South Australia with 59 and praised Webster’s bowling, as weather interruptions punctuated a low-scoring match.
