- Preserving the fitness of Mitchell Starc has been a national obsession since he bowled Australia to the World Cup title in 2015, but the left-arm paceman has no intention of putting his feet up in England.
With Australia top of the standings after their 87-run victory over Sri Lanka on Saturday, selectors may be inclined to ease Starc’s workload and play it safe with a bowler who has a long record of stress injuries.“If I’m fit, I’d like to ,” said the 29-year-old. “Ultimately it’s not up to me, but it’s a World Cup.“But I definitely won’t be putting up my hand to rest.”
But Starc’s astonishing average of 13.51 is a record for bowlers who have sent down at least 500 deliveries at the tournament. Starc, whose swinging yorker is virtually unplayable when on song, said he was keeping his white ball bowling simple.
