Men’s ODI WC: Bowling First On Some Wickets With The New Ball Has Been The Hardest Time To Bowl, Admits Starc
Cricket World Cup: Australia's left-arm fast-bowler Mitchell Starc admitted that bowling first on some wickets with the new ball has been the hardest time to bowl in the ongoing 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Starc was the leading wicket taker in the last two editions of Men’s ODI World Cup. But in the ongoing tournament, he was far from his best, taking only 10 wickets at an average of 43.90 and at an economy rate of 6.55.
"Certainly bowling first on particular wickets, the new ball, with two fielders out, has almost sometimes been the hardest time to bowl. We get a bit of an understanding of the wickets whilst the game goes on and whether they slow up or the ball gets softer."
