Spectacular Starc

At the end of the first session, in the match between South Africa vs Australia, we were all left wondering what was the logic behind Pat Cummins electing to bowl after winning the toss.

The post lunch session changed the complexion of the game with South Africa collapsing from 203/1 to 232/6. A mknj rescue act from Ryan Rickleton and Marco Jansen could only delay the carpet for the Mitchell Starc special that was brewing.

Once the new ball was taken Starch picked up 4 wickets in a span of 9 balls. Starc ended with figures of 6/72
