It’s been Starc’s ability to trust his ageing body that has stood out in comparison to his fellow fast bowling teammates in reecnt times and one the pacer continues to work hard at to ensure he remains at the top of his game.
“When you’re 36 and you’ve been around for 16 years, you’d like to think you’ve improved or got better at something,” Starc said.
“You’re also around that long because you’re able to develop and learn and improve.
“And you add in a few things like the wobble seam, consistency and other things. I have a pretty clear mindset on it all.”
Meanwhile, Australia pacer Michael Neser sustained a strain in his right calf muscle, which will prevent him from training or playing for several weeks.
Neser was training with the Australian squad in Brisbane this month as a standby fast bowler for the NRMA Insurance Test Series against Bangladesh.
