Mitchell Starc and his love affair with England or big matches for that matter, is unreal. Whenever there is a need for big performances, Starc puts his hands up and does the job for Australia. The left-arm pacer showed what he can do during England’s second innings of the third Ashes Test. 

As England looked to chase 251 in their second innings to win the third Test, Starc ran through the opposition’s batting lineup and kept his team well alive in the contest. Starc claimed the big wickets as he dismissed Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, and Harry Brook, all at crucial junctures of the game.

While Mitchell Starc got Duckett and Ali in quick succession in the first hour of Day 4, the left-arm pacer sent back Stokes and Bairstow right after lunch to bring back Australia into the game. While Starc got Stokes strangled down the leg side, the Aussie pacer cleaned up Bairstow. These two dismissals opened the game for both teams. For his fifth wicket, Starc got well-set Brook.

As Mitchell Starc starred for his team and looked in a much better shape than he has looked in the past few months, fans hailed the left-armer for stepping up. A few also pointed out how Starc gives T20 leagues a miss and focuses on playing red-ball cricket. Meanwhile, a fan sneaked in Starc’s form going up in a World Cup year.

Notably, Mitchell Starc missed out on the first Ashes Test as Scott Boland played ahead of him. However, the left-arm pacer made a comeback in the second Ashes Test and has taken 13 wickets with the help of a five-wicket haul so far in the series.
