Скачать или смотреть Mitchell Starc's Career-Defining Wicket - 27 December 2014

Fat Jacques' middle peg gets DESTROYED.... Things were looking grim for Mitchell Starc going in to this game. Only a few days previously he had been dropped from the Australian squad for the 2014 Boxing Day Test. Shane Warne had criticised his performance and poor body language in the recent Brisbane Test - his comments making national sports headlines. Starc's career was at a crossroads....

However, EVERYTHING seemed to change with this 1 domestic T20 wicket. Starc got his mojo back and suddenly developed a bit of a mongrel streak. He was recalled for the final Test of the series and has averaged 24.7 with the ball ever since [in 22 Tests at the time of editing], compared to his career bowling average of 37.3 [from his first 14 Tests] when he was dropped.

And 3 months after this wicket in BBL04, Starc had a phenomenal World Cup, taking the most wickets in the tournament and topping the bowling averages. He was a big cog in Australia's winning machine.
