    What was so special about Starcs Ashes?? Did he took 50-60 wickets at under 10 at under 20 SR?

    Definitely,There is no doubt that it's mental game......But technical analysis helps us in finding the strength and weakness of the person and at the same time it can help someone as good as Starc in the Test......I can't find where is his weakness technically,that's why I asked you to help me

    His Ashes figures are Ishant Dharma class. A bit inferior infact.

    He has no weaknesses. He is much better than Johnson. But Siddle (is he retired now) had no weakness either and Siddle had better control. But talent doesn't takes wickets unfortunately. Neither does it wins games.
    Barca won't have lost to Inter in 2010 or to Chelsea in 2012, if talent and being better sufficed.

    He can improve, rather he should and will improve; but becoming Test GOAT is a mathematical impossibility in one or two years. And tbh I don't think he ever will. His FC record is stinky. Worse than Joginder Sharma's FC stats.

    I didn't follow whole Ashes but particularly one test where those Starckers were destroying the stumps continously when delivered....I hope you have watched that match or else it will be difficult to explain.....One more thing,I find interesting and impressive was there was a spell he was bowling brilliantly but Joe Root managed to escape,,,then he changed his swing and tried outswing(not his natural swing) and succeed,,,that his understanding of the situation impressed me......Stats wise,it was not the best series definitely....

    Yorkers or swinging both ways at 150 won't be effective with red ball at the top level because batsmen do not require to hit you and so far he hasn't displayed the patience to stick to the channel 24 balls in a row or to cut down on pace. It's a chess game often, especially when a decent bat is well set and the pitch isn't assisting.

    The 1st Test at Cardiff. Eng played like scared bunnies. Nothing impressive tbh. Just like Johnson's Ashes weren't impressive.
    In the past 10 years, barring Warne only Simon Jones has impressed me in Ashes spells. Even McGrath, Gillespie and Harmison have bowled better in other serieses.

    His white ball skills are awesome no doubt. A much improved lefty version of Waqar.

    Not at all...No one comes close to LD except one...However,as i said,if an individual's aura attract/inspires me,then i can't help but try to learn/Enjoy/support him till the end....To me,individual matters most and his Nationality means next to nothing...

    Time to blood in Mayank Agarwal for Shikhar in white ball events, there was an opportunity 11-12 months ago to, but SD nipped it with 91,117 and 79 vs SL. Looks like SD will score a 50+ in a losing cause today and save his place

    Get well soon Johan Cruyff. Hope we win big today to honour the great man. Can't wait for Laporta-Guardiola-Cruyff triumvirate to sweep power next elections.
