Still has 2-3 matches left to play in the worldcup so should get past 50 mark easily. He is 29 right now so should play 1 more worldcup and be still good enough to get near mcgrath's wicket tally specially if format of 2023 worldcup is similar to current one. Discuss.

That’s such an amazing record by McGrath though :hatsoff: also he played only 4 world cups

 

1996-2007

 

The next 2 on the list Murali played 5 1996-2011 and Wasim played 5 1987-2003

Is Starcs tally highest ever in a Single WC? 

mcgrath had 26 wickets in his last wc (2007) & starc is at 24 so he will get there in this worldcup for sure.

such an amazing player , in deadly form in this world cup .. still he got dismantled by dhoni easily 

That one 6 is going to haunt us :facepalm:

 

Also Thala becomes over aggressive when he has no other choice  like trying to step out against Anderson or Steyn on a green track :giggle:

bhai rehne de ..That match is history now .. Australia has got their combination right and here we are stuck  with ridged mentality of not trying out other players.

 

 

Our Gun player ,who scored hundred against Australia is not playing either... Australia has upper hand vs India now .

It would make sense to discuss this in 2023 when more information is available on factors such as:

  • Starc's form and fitness in 2023
  • Bowling strength of Aus in 2023
  • Format of 2023 

 

PS whatever is discussed now, chances are not many would remember in 2023 :lol:

Starc will topple his record in just 3 world cups ,that's madness

OMG what a truly astounding match winner. Already etched his name as a MOTS in the last cup and is well on his way to carve another MOTS in this edition.

 

No one is even nearly close to him.

Both murli and McGrath played same number of matches. Start has just 16 less than half of both and only 25 wickets behind.

I don't think so. He might not even play the next world cup. He has had quite a few injuries and might break down soon due to all the load he is putting on his body during this tournament.

He will break down in ashes for sure but he has time to recover. He will come back fit in 2023 worldcup as well. Mitch Johnson had similar issues like him and look how he peaked in his last couple of years.

He has 2 WCs in him if he remains fit, he should play at least the next one.

Yeah, that's a possibility. The Aussie selectors have done a good job of keeping him fresh for this world cup and could pull off the same in 2023 also. But 4 years is a long time, hopefully they won't!
