Beau webster, hopefully he can get atleast 30 runs to firmly establish himself in the side. Pant top scored for india with 40. no one else got higher than 26 for india. Not expecting much more than 160 for australia. Hopefully boland can rip india up for not more than 140-150 in the 2nd inn.

He'll certainly be used to this situation - coming in at 4/not many on a green one is par for the course in the Shield these days
Is that poor pitches or just no bats coming through?

As an outsider it feels weird seeing no 20somethings in a batting line up. Is there no realistic candidates other than Green who obviously would be in if fit?

Sad the opener who almost certainly would be established in the side by now had all the concussion issues so he had a valid excuse but seems no obvious choices to replace the older members.
