‘Bowl full, hit the stumps, try and swing it’, Mitchell Starc after 2nd ODI win

Mitchell Starc played a key role in India’s crushing defeat in the second ODI played at the YS Raja Reddy Cricket Stadium. Starc showed signs of his best ever performance, picking up impressive figures of 5/53 in a player-of-the-match performance in Australia’s 10-wicket thriller against India in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.

Starc said, as quoted by ICC –

“My plan hasn’t changed for 13 years: bowl full, hit the stumps, try and swing it. That’s been my role for a long time, to try and get wickets up front in the Powerplay. At times that means I’m probably more expensive, but I’m trying to bring in all modes of dismissal. So it’s certainly not a new game plan these last two games.”

Mitchell Starc’s prowess to swing the new ball and make inroads early in an innings is a trait that has helped the left-armer prosper throughout his international career. Starc said he won’t be changing the tactics that have helped him claim 219 ODI wickets for his country from just over 100 matches.

Starc added – “When you’ve got a powerhouse batting unit that India do have, if you can take wickets in the Powerplay it means we sort of control the game in some respects, which is what we did today,” as quoted by ICC.”
