Australia celebrated after such a hectic series victory over India in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25, but it seems they went all in on the celebrations. Winning a series for the first time in a decade, Australian players celebrated the achievement with many drinks. As “rough” Beau Webster-the debutant who hit the winning runs from his final Test-narrated, it wasn’t just him who went particularly hard celebrating the morning after the party. “It’s sunk in a little bit overnight. The celebrations were good,” Webster said. “We had a few beers in the SCG members’ bar. It was a great, great week and capped off with a brilliant night,” Webster told Australian media outlet Sydney Morning Herald the day after the victory.
“Trav’s is always good [for a night out]. Me and him were going relatively hard on the beers. I’m a little bit rough this morning, as I think a few of the boys are. It was a really good night sitting in your whites talking with the lads all things life. It was really special.”
Webster got off to a sensational start in his Test career. He was brought into the team in place of the out-of-form Mitchell Marsh. One match into the series, Webster has already passed Marsh’s run tally for the series. He top-scored in the first innings and then remained unbeaten on 39 off 34 balls in the second.
Webster also made the winning hit and describes his feelings regarding the moment “I certainly wasn’t going to give Heady (Travis Head) the chance [to hit the winning runs],” Webster said. “When there was four to win and one ball left, I said, ‘I’m either getting out here or it’s going to the boundary’. How many chances do you get to hit the winning runs for your country, let alone in the fifth and deciding Test?” said Webster.
Australia will now face Proteas in the World Test Championship final.
