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. This skill set has resulted in Webster earning comparisons to former Test cricketers Collin Miller and Andrew Symonds.
