Beau Webster (born 1 December 1993) is an Australian cricketer who currently represents Tasmania and the Melbourne Stars. An allrounder, Webster is a right-handed batsman capable of bowling both right-arm medium and off spin.

Webster's unique ability to bowl both spin and pace was revealed during the 2020-21 Sheffield Shield season, with Webster having introduced pace bowling to his game as a new skill learned during the first lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] This skill set has resulted in Webster earning comparisons to former Test cricketers Collin Miller and Andrew Symonds.

Domestic career

Webster made his first-class debut for Tasmania against Queensland in the Sheffield Shield at Hobart in February 2014 after representing the Tasmania U-23 side.[2] He made his List A debut for Tasmania in the 2016–17 Matador BBQs One-Day Cup on 3 October 2016.[3] He made his Twenty20 debut for Hobart Hurricanes on 2 January 2017 in the 2016–17 Big Bash League season.[4]

Webster became the captain of Cricket Australia XI for the 2017–18 JLT One-Day Cup. In the first match of the cup against South Australia he scored 121, his first List A century to help lead Cricket Australia XI to just the second win in the team's history. His 229-run partnership with Jake Carder was the fourth-highest second-wicket partnership in the history of Australia's domestic List A competition. He was named the player of the match for his efforts.[5] He again top scored for Cricket Australia XI against Western Australia with 52, but after he was dismissed, the team suffered a major batting collapse and lost by 9 wickets.[6] He was Cricket Australia XI's top run scorer for the cup with 247 runs at an average of 41.16.[7]

In 2020, he decided to take advantage of his height by bowling medium pace, utilizing extra bounce on his deliveries.[8]

In 2023 he joined Essex for the One-Day Cup and was the team's leading run scorer and wicket-taker in the competition.[9]
