Since Shubman Gill’s time as a captain of the Indian Test team began with a good note with the bat, Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has shared his thoughts, along with questioning the surface of England. In the two completed matches of the five-match series, high scored have been made and the batters have made full use of the conditions that offer assistance.
As Mitchell Starc spoke to the Willow Talk Podcast, he revealed that he was keeping track of the score, and even his other teammates had their eyes glued to the screen when the match would take place.
“I wouldn’t bowl to him in England, that’s for sure. I didn’t see much of the game, I saw the scorecards. There was a few guys that were waking up, particularly Marnus and Alex Carey and Steve Smith who would sit around a coffee machine and watch the game. I did see the scores. Who would be a kid in England and want to bowl on some of those wickets? But from all reports, it was very sub-continent like which I find it hard to believe,” Starc said.
