00:05 seen in the Sheffield Shield for 20 yearsTasmania—without last summer's leading wicket-takers and missing
00:12 two of their top five top scorers for 202–223—entered the Marsh-Sheffield Shield opener against South
00:21 Australia needing new heroes to emerge with ball and bat.
00:26 As events progressed, Bo Webster featured in both disciplines—taking four catches
00:32 for good measure to cap off one of the great all-round performances in Tasmania's seven-wicket
00:39 victory over three days.
00:41 Webster became first Tasmanian men's player to combine half-century with four wickets
00:46 and as many catches in a Shield match—and first player to complete treble since former
00:53 Australian all-rounder Cameron White did so for Victoria against Queensland 20 summers
00:59 ago—given the game's greatest ever all-rounder Garfield Sobers and others who claimed rare
01:05 trebles such as Test stars Clary Grimmett, Warwick Armstrong and George Giffen.
01:13 Webster's success has historically been his Australian success it may have caused him
01:17 to be deemed "worthy of the honour" but such is the depth of the current seam bowling all-rounders.
01:25 With Western Australian trio Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green and Aaron Hardy leading a group
01:31 that also includes Michael Nessar and Will Sutherland, order where Webster does offer
01:37 a point of difference, however, is his unique bowling skill set that combines skilful seamers

01:49 and catching abilities equal to any fielder in the country, rotate, Webster made transition
01:56 from specialist spinner to pace bowler during COVID-19 lockdown. But he also continued his

02:17 and I thought there might be a time when offices could come in handy here on some flat and
02:22 dusty wickets," Webster told Cricket.au after the incident Tasmania. "Shield wins. But if
02:30 I keep taking four wickets in an innings I will probably stick with the seamers." This
02:35 felt like a much more seamer-friendly wicket with the new drop-in pitch. "It was fantastic
02:41 compared to what we have played there in previous seasons. So if have to bowl for the team will.
02:48 But if Jared is bowling really well and they need seamers, we'll do whatever can to help
02:53 us get a win." Webster's readiness to use the skill set best suited to Tasmania's specific
02:59 needs also reflects the depth of bowling they have, despite losing their two strongest pacers
03:06 from last season Jackson Bird and Peter Siddle. Moreover, the bowlers who did not field against
03:13 South Australia this week due to fitness or selection calls, suggest depth and variety
