Yesterday was a near perfect day for New South Wales cricket and the pace ace Starc.
To my knowledge, no one else have ever has done this feat of taking hat-tricks in both the innings of the test match!
Starc was at it again.
The blues were playing against the Western Australians. Starc wasn't totally in control when the first innings got started. He was barely going at 3 runs per over rate. But his spearheads Hazelwood and Patty cummins did the damage. Hazelwood made early inroads to remove the men in form; Shaun Marsh and Hilton Cartwright, and got Mitchel Marsh too.
Starc had to wait for 8 overs to get his first wicket. When it was the tail enders, then came the tormender! last 3 wickets of Western Australia couldn't add anything to the tally, they were facing the deadliest yorkers. 8th was caught in slips, 9th was plumb in front and 10th was middle stump yorker!
When the second innings started for WA, I felt that Marsh and Bancroft were gonna hold their bats till the end. Their batting was flowless; Neat dabs and Squishing fours; That too against the Australian seamers (yes you read that correct, NSW is more or less the Australian team in bowling).
But when the first wicket was fallen, that was the end of them; the fast trio had done it again, and Mitchel starc, again had ripped apart the tail.
I felt sorry for David Moody, his reactions were all the same as first and second innings, he bagges a couple, both from Starc. This time it was caught at slips, caught by wicketKeeper, and bowled.
Get ready pommies, for the chin music from the Mitchel, once again just like the 2014 Mitchel!
