Prasidh supported him in Oval Test. Also Akashdeep was chief destroyer in Birmingham

Not downplaying Starc here,has been featuring in my favourite list since his debut

Here Boland and Neser also supported him

Thing is England helps you 50% in winning games if you do your thing just about right,they don't make things difficult for opposition, laughable argument ,but it holds

Now I think we should have won in England. Draw is not a great result

England was playing at home. Can't compare with England's performance in Australia.

100 percent ;-)

POTS in both home and away Ashes now

 

2 ODI WCs (starring role in both)

1 T20 WC 

1 WTC

IPL win for KKR after a long hiatus

 

May even get to 500 test wickets if he can play for another couple of years. 

 

Respect.

Best left armer ever

[Gollum]

Played all the 5 tests at the age of 35, sent down 155 overs. No Cummins, Hazlewood, Lyon as support for most part. Important hand with the bat as well, took a couple of screamers. He is an ATG.

Stats as good as Bumrah's last BGT. Though I didn't watch that series. 

 

Starc is highly underrated.

Starc was highly rated across formats not so much with red ball but in last 3.5-4 years he's been exceptional

Does Starc makes it in top 10 bowlers of Aus in tests? McGrath, Warne, Lilee, O'Reilly, Grimmett, Lindwall, Keith Miller, Hazlewood, Cummins all ahead of him.

If odis come into picture, he will be top 3. He has incredble record in odis.

Respect. 

He was superb in West indies as well in the test series. 27 all out.

What a series for starc, stuff of legend. 

 

Carried whole bowling on himself when rest of the bowlers were not in the side. He picked his game and pace bowled at high pace in all the 5 matches.

 

[vvvslaxman]

Supreme athleticism. HE did not drop pace right through the series.

This is where Aus team is diff. they all have reserve tanks for big games thats what makes them so successful team in Icc events.

They can raise their game, all have reserve tanks for big games... where rest of the teams looks burnt-out by the end of the event Aus start pushing all the cylinders.
