Australia won the second Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide, and the eight-wicket haul by Mitchell Starc was one of the reasons for the victory. Australia levelled the series 1-1 after this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been India’s supporter in Test cricket as the youngster has been in great form in the longest format of the game. Jaiswal showed his dominance with a 161-eun knock, and even had an exchange with the left-arm pacer to keep the friendly rivalry alive and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaiswal was seen telling Starc that he was bowling too show for him. Starc did not say anything at the time, but took his revenge as he sent the left handed batter on the first delivery of the pink-ball Test, dismissing him for a duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ricky Ponting believes that Jaiswal might have been the one who caused the fire within Starc, and hence the pacer made a come back with his career best figure in the following Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u201cHe’s actually a pretty level-headed guy, Mitchell Starc. He doesn’t get flustered too much, even you see when he’s bowling now<\/em><\/strong>,” Ricky tols Sanjana Ganesan on the ICC review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And if one of the batters does happen to say something, he generally responds with a little smile on his face. But I think that smile on his face might be just a bit of a cover for the fire that’s burning inside. Look, he bowled beautifully in Adelaide didn\u2019t he<\/em><\/strong>,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u201cHe certainly deserves high praise. I mean, he’s probably in the last couple of years been better than he’s ever been<\/em><\/strong>,\u201d Ponting\u00a0noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “And the reason that I say that is I think he’s a more consistent bowler now than he’s ever been before, yet his pace is still about the same as it always was. I mean, he could bowl over 150km\/h probably a few years ago and he’s in absolute prime now. He’s sort of operating in the mid-140s, but his consistency, the way he’s starting spells is really good now as well<\/em><\/strong>,” he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mitchell Starc has won possibly all the accolades for Australia, as he currently has two ICC ODI World Cups, one T20 World Cup, and the World Test Championship title on his tally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ricky Ponting believes that Jaiswal might have been the one who caused the fire within Starc, and hence the pacer made a come back with his career best figure in the following Test.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":666,"featured_media":1214847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[2092,175,701,157,1083],"yoast_head":"\n
