How will Mitchell Starc be remembered when his career is over?

Red

The normal awards that everyone else has
Hopefully it's a good few years away, but please feel free to write a cricinfo bio for Mitchell Starc that might appear on the site at the end of his career. Could be good to look back on in a few years.

well he's like 16 so bit early?

already getting close to that GOAT discussion of ODI bowlers and he's so young. In tests until recently he's been a bit of a highlights package but you'd have him well below Steyn and he's only just joined that chasing pack of world class bowlers after being promoted to test cricket maybe a couple of years too early.

he's much better than he used to be at the boring stuff and realised he can't just produce magic balls every over, as much as the australian contingent are about to march in here and expect him to do so and in the process be the GOAT in two years with the lack of self awareness you usually attribute to indian and northern districts fans will say otherwise.

One of the greatest pace spearheads of the mid 2010s, Mitchell Starc troubled the greatest batsmen with devastating pace and pinpoint yorkers, netting him 365 wickets at an average of 27.4. However Starc is best remembered in the non-cricketing world for triggering the nuclear apocalypse which resulted in the killing of 96% of human life. Needless to say, Starc drunkenly tweeting to Emperor Trump "can't swing the ball mate, look at your freekishly [sic] small hands" led to the nuking of Sydney. Although this act was not seen as a declaration of war, and indeed perhaps necessary by some, the result was tit-for-tat attacks which eventually saw Starc's career tragically cut short. Although he survived, the radiation mutated him into a grotesque being allergic to sunlight. Naturally his post-playing career is currently as a commentator for Channel 9.

Tit for tat attacks by Australia on the US would be lobbing a few jars of Vegemite in their direction.

The best ODI bowler ever. No one who has played 50+ ODIs has a better strike rate of 24.4.

Most improved Test bowler
14 Tests 45 wickets at 36.22
2015/16 14 Tests 69 wickets at 21.14

Reckon that's as much to do with him being picked too soon in Tests. IIRC his First Class record for New South Wales isn't partucularly special.

about the same as his Test stats I think

But he was definitely picked too often too soon, mainly as a result of so many injuries to first choice bowlers

Yeah he will go down as the GOAT ODI bowler. Consider the era he is playing in and his numbers are just obscene.
