Also the case with Wagner tbf.Looking at Starc's numbers though, for all his red-ball inconsistency, they're still really really good. 238 wickets, SR of 48, 13 5fers, 2 10fers. He has an excellent chance of finishing as an ATG or just below if he has a few more killer series in India/England/SA.
A pity the current and previous Black Caps coach seem to disagree with this sentiment I think we all share.Yeah, Wagner's sample size outside home is smaller though. NZ pitches are a bitch to bowl on after a few sessions though, so I'm not necessarily criticizing him. But I'd like to see him bowl more in different conditions.
I don't think any Indian fan really argues that shami is better tbh. Just has been less disappointing because starc should have way better numbers.I mean, we Indian fans on here were having a collective fap when Shami's average recently went below 27.. Starc's been getting heavily criticized and dropped in red ball cricket and still has better numbers. It's like the inverse Ashwin-Lyon situation LOL.
Might have been the India series last summer. Needless to say I at least wasn't thrilled with his bowling there.i think it was the ashes in england before last he was getting absolutely toasted by the aussie fans on here?
Yeah Starc and Hazlewood were extremely disappointing in that series. Hazlewood bowling too short a length, Starc unable to maintain a line (or at least a good one) and giving away a boundary every over. The longing for just five more tests of Ryan Harris was real.starc was tom latham-ing to an extent, taking poles when life was easy then clocking in an average 2/70 at 4rpo when he was needed. i think it was the ashes in england before last he was getting absolutely toasted by the aussie fans on here?
he's showing up when it matters now, which is really annoying if you're a fan of his opposition but fun if you're a neutral.
Relax, just stating simple facts. No need to get triggeredi thought it would be the cricinfo indians to start crying first.
Yeah he and Hazlewood were well below par in 2015 in England. Mind you, there isn't a lot you can do defending scores on the order of, well, 60.starc was tom latham-ing to an extent, taking poles when life was easy then clocking in an average 2/70 at 4rpo when he was needed. i think it was the ashes in england before last he was getting absolutely toasted by the aussie fans on here?

Haha yeah I love it. It's like when you find a really lame exploit in a video game, then just keep using it over and over again while your opponents get angrier and angrier.Really enjoy waching batsmen getting frustrated with Wagner’s bowling tbh. Serious forum troll energy.

In all things, I think in comparison to our last left armer called Mitch and his career, our current one is doing fine.
i remember hazes toasting too. i was only able to see morning sessions because england but the pair didn't bowl great and haze still came out of that series with a solid average iirc which was quite funnyYeah he and Hazlewood were well below par in 2015 in England.
