‘Who would be…’: Mitchell Starc refuses bowling to Shubman Gill in England’s conditions

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.

As he was appointed as the captain of the Test team ahead of this series, Shubman Gill overcame the hurdles that came in his way, conquering the conditions of England. After scoring a century in his maiden innings as the leader, Gill’s final score was 269 and 161 in Edgbaston.
