Ashes 2023: ‘We’ll see the way they’re going to play,’ Mitchell Starc mocks England’s ‘buzzball’ approach

Australia’s star fast bowler Mitchell Starc has doubted England’s ability to maintain an attacking posture in adverse conditions, saying the Three Lions’ aggressive play is what makes the Ashes series attractive.

England’s fortunes have changed since Brendon McCullum took over as head coach and Ben Stokes took over. They have played an aggressive brand of cricket called ‘Bazball’. Ben Stokes and Co broke several records during their 3-0 win in Pakistan last year.

Five Tests between Australia and England will be played from June 16 to July 31. Whatever the England team, the Australians are ready to play their game. (James Anderson warns, ‘Australia won’t stand against England’s best in Ashes series’)

The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Starc as saying, “If they’re 5-50, are they still coming out and swinging? Don’t know.”

“They’ve been able to keep it up for a while. Due credit to them, this isn’t just a one-off. It makes for an exciting Ashes contest. We’ll see if they play the way they’re going to.” It goes. From the people I’ve talked to this week, we’re not really buying too much into it,” said the left-arm pacer.

Starc also agreed that irrespective of the pitch, both the teams would have to take 20 wickets to win the Test. As a result, he expects an interesting fight on all fronts.

Mitchell Starc broke the 52-run partnership for the sixth wicket.

“Have you ever seen fast wickets in England? I don’t know if they can make them fast. They can certainly make them flat. I think it’s a smokescreen. Always a little talk about the Ashes This is still cricket and there are three stumps at either end. You still need 20 wickets to win a Test. They may score a bit quicker than us, but there’s no reason why our batting line -Up the number of runs they do. It’s going to be fascinating to be a part of it. I think a lot of people will be interested to see how it turns out,” Starc said.
