During the press conference, Cummins also praised debutant Beau Webster, who made a significant impact in the final Test. “Beau was huge this Test. He’s one of those quintessential all-rounders who contributes in every facet of the game. That’s what he does for Tasmania, and he showed it here. He bowled beautifully, took some great catches, and played two crucial knocks. He’s always involved, and he couldn’t have asked for a better debut,” Cummins remarked.
Too cute!
