Australia's fast bowler Mitchell Starc has expressed disappointment over the ICC's 'average' rating on the Optis Stadium pitch after Australia's 146-run win in the second Test. Some batsmen in the Perth had a ball while playing, especially in the second innings. Stark said that this is good There was aggressive test cricket and such a rating would make it a whole game of batting. Stark said before the Boxing Day Test, "It's a little disappointing as a cricket fan that the average rating given to Perth Pitch was given. I think it was a great battle between the ball and the bat that you want to see in Test cricket. "
He said, "For example, playing in the MCG last year was quite monotonous and Pitch did nothing. You want to compete between the ball and the bat, which will keep Test cricket alive and bring people to the ground like Perth.Great struggle there
And I think that was the best pitch. "Stark said," The cracks played their role, but when the pitch breaks on the fourth and fifth day, it happens. If you always prepare a flat pitch, then cricket will become a game of batsmen. You want an exciting fight between the ball and the bat. "
He said, "When the ball is moving and the batsmen have to play, this is the game. Marcus Harris continued to play despite the ball, and the ball on the shoulders of both the teams was hit, but they continued to play. It was a very aggressive cricket and it brings people to the game. "During the Adelaide Test, Stark was criticized for being sluggish, but both of them got 10 wickets in two Tests and gave a positive response to the critics.
The fast bowler said that the Australian attack is making a joint effort to grab early wickets against India and having poor form of Indian openers has definitely helped him. He said, 'This is our plan, we want to get early wickets and we want to bowl middle order with a new ball.
We still have this plan. We will see whether they make changes in the top sequence or not. We still have the same plan - try to pressure them as much as possible and bowl the middle order as soon as possible.
The left-handed fast bowler, though, if India's openers Murali Vijay and Lokesh Rahul get the chance they will not play them lightly. Stark's fast bowling partner Pat Cummins said that when bowling to Virat Kohli in Perth, he said that when you bowl the best batsmen of the world, there is no more scope for error.
