Starc is known for being able to bowl quickly and creating reverse swing with his deliveries. His fastest delivery was measured at over 160.4 km/h, which was the fastest ever measured in a Test match. As of December 2022, he is the seventh-best bowler for Australia in Test cricket in terms of how many wickets he has taken.
Early Life of Mitchell Starc:
Early domestic career
Starc played cricket as a wicket keeper for Northern Districts when he was just 9 years old. He played cricket for the Northern Districts Cricket Association and went to Homebush Boys High School, where he played for the 1st grade cricket team. He also used to play junior cricket for the Berala Sports Cricket Club in Sydney, where he would sometimes keep wicket and bowl at the same time.
During the 2009-10 season, Western Australia tried to sign Starc to their team, but he was already under contract with New South Wales, so he stuck with them. During the season, he played eight Sheffield Shield games and took 21 wickets, with a best of 5 for 74 against Queensland. He also got 50 runs against Victoria.
Early international career
Starc was picked to replace Alex Napier on Australia’s tour of India at the last minute in late 2010 because of how well he played during the winter of 2010. On this tour, Starc played in his first international game, a One Day International (ODI) against India on October 20, 2010. He didn’t hit, so he was out of the game. Starc played his second ODI later in the summer. It was the last game of a three-game series between Australia and Sri Lanka. Starc was back in the Australian ODI team for the August and September 2012 matches against Afghanistan and Pakistan. He started off the tour in great shape.
Before the 2012/13 Australian summer began, Starc played in the 2012 Champions League Twenty20 for the Sydney Sixers. He did so with fellow fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, who were also on the national team. This caused problems for the national team because the three players could only play one first-class match before the first Test match of the Australian summer because of the Champions League. This made it hard for them to get ready. This also made it possible for the three bowlers to have too much to do and get hurt. Which would keep them from being at their best when they played for Australia.
Later international career:
Starc got better from his back injury and returned to Australia’s team for the shorter ODI and Twenty20 formats in the second half of the 2013/14 season. However, he didn’t play a single first-class match until Australia’s series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates in October 2014. Starc went back to Australia after the second Test match to play for New South Wales in the Sheffield Shield. In his first game back, he took seven wickets against South Australia. However, he hurt his groin and couldn’t play in the next game.
Starc was a big reason why Australia beat India and England to win the 2015 Carlton Mid Triangular Series. In the first game of the series, he bowled well and got two wickets in the first three balls that England hit. After taking four wickets against England, he took six wickets against India, again getting one in the first over.
2015 Cricket World Cup
Starc helped Australia win the 2015 Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. In the first match, he got two wickets against England. However, Australia’s second match against Bangladesh was called off because of rain before a single ball was played. Australia played co-hosts New Zealand in their third World Cup game. Australia batted first and only got 151 runs, which most people didn’t think they could protect. Starc started off well with his swing bowling, but he was taken out of the bowling attack after 6 overs.
2019 Cricket World Cup
The West Indies were Australia’s first opponent in the World Cup. Starc took five wickets in Australia’s 15-run win. Some of those wickets came at key points in the game to help Australia win. Chris Gayle of the West Indies was sent out of the game in a controversial way, which was one of his catches.
Umpire Chris Gaffaney said Gayle was out twice in one over when Starc was bowling, once caught behind and once leg before wicket (lbw). However, Gayle used the Decision Review System (DRS) to overturn the umpire’s decisions both times. In a later over, Gaffaney again said Gayle was out lbw because of Starc’s bowling. Gayle challenged the call, but this time the DRS supported the umpire’s call.
Indian Premier League
Starc has been signed to play for several teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but he has missed more seasons than he has played because of injuries and commitments to the Australian national team. Royal Challengers Bangalore is the only team he has played for as of 2022.
Starc was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders in January 2018 for the equivalent of A$1.8 million, which was the second most any Australian player was bought for at the 2018 sale. However, he never played a game for the team. He couldn’t play in the 2018 Indian Premier League because he hurt his right leg in a Test match against South Africa and got tibial bone stress.
