Beau Jacob 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. [3] This skill set has resulted in Webster earning comparisons to former Test cricketers Collin Miller and Andrew Symonds.

He was named the player of the match for his efforts. [7] 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. [8] He was Cricket Australia XI's top run scorer for the cup with 247 runs at an average of 41.16. [9]
In 2020,he decided to take advantage of his height by bowling medium pace,utilizing extra bounce on his deliveries. [10]
