2nd Test: Feel Like The Ball Has Been Coming Out Well, Says Starc After Grabbing Six-fer
Nitish Kumar Reddy: Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc’s affinity of taking wickets with the pink Kookaburra ball in day-night Tests continued when his career-best haul of 6-48 in 14.1 overs helped Australia bowl out India for 180 on day one of the Adelaide Test.
On a pitch with six mm grass, Starc trapped Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw with the very first delivery of the game, with many made to recall the way he castled Rory Burns at the Gabba in 2021. He then made a double strike to dismiss KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, before taking out Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy to end with his first Test five-for against India.
"I don't know. I can't tell. Feel like the ball has been coming out well; we did not play that bad; they played better than us in Perth. Not that much to be honest (on if he visualised getting swing first-ball to Jaiswal). Nothing really changes game by game, was a nice start," said Starc to broadcasters during dinner break.
