Despite already having qualified for the semi-finals – Starc says there will be no let up from Australia as they take on New Zealand and South Africa in바카라 웹사이트their final two group games.
He said: “There라이브 바카라 a lot of cricket to come before semi-final time. We’ve got two really important games but playing here at Lord라이브 바카라 where the final라이브 바카라 going to be has given us confidence,” he said.바카라 웹사이트
“We’ve got another game here against New Zealand, which is going to be tough. They’re playing some fantastic cricket and they’ve really gone under the radar. Nobody라이브 바카라 really spoken too much about them and they keep winning games.바카라 웹사이트
“So they’ve got a really strong side, Kane Williamson is their lynchpin in the middle and they have bowlers who swing the ball, so it라이브 바카라 another big game but we’ve cemented our spot in the semis and we want to try and finish as high as we can building towards the final series of matches.”바카라 웹사이트
Starc was happy to share the bowling laurels with his more unsung fellow left-armer, Jason Behrendorff, who took a five-for in only his second World Cup match.바카라 웹사이트
“Dorff bowled awesome, beautifully, and deserved his five wickets - and it라이브 바카라 great to see him do so well here at Lord라이브 바카라 against England. I’ve bowled a fair bit with Mitchell Johnson in the past and this showed again바카라 웹사이트today바카라 웹사이트that there라이브 바카라 no reason why you can’t play two left armers when the pitch and match-ups suit.바카라 웹사이트
“Dorff actually asked me if there was anything of note about the wicket here and, to be honest, I didn’t have much for him as I haven’t been here for about four years.”바카라 웹사이트
They key to the victory, felt Starc, was the way the Australian bowlers got their lengths right in the England innings. “After watching them, as a bowling group we all wanted to bowl a bit fuller and make them drive the ball, and I think we did that really well. It was a positive for us to bowl them out and win the game fairly strongly.”바카라 웹사이트
With typical modesty, he was not making a big deal of the key delivery, a reverse swing yorker, that skittled Ben Stokes just as England라이브 바카라 dangerous all-rounder looked particularly threatening.바카라 웹사이트
“He라이브 바카라 a fantastic player, one of their key batters. He nearly got them home against Sri Lanka and so we knew while he was batting that we couldn’t rest up. Fortunately, I got one through the gate,” shrugged Starc.바카라 웹사이트
Some were hailing it as the delivery of the tournament so far, but Starc insisted: “I’ve got a pretty simple one-day plan and for me its all about execution.바카라 웹사이트
“To execute that ball exactly how I wanted and for it to result the way it did was pleasing for me - but it was pleasing to contribute to the whole group.”바카라 웹사이트
Start also laughed off an incident at breakfast in his team hotel when a supporter ‘sledged’ him while he was going to eat his three poached eggs.바카라 웹사이트
“Some bloke in a suit was having a go about my strapping tape on my elbow and about me eating too much and how it was going to affect my bowling!” smiled Starc.바카라 웹사이트
“He had a bit of a click at me - all good fun. I was still half-asleep, didn’t think much of it. It라이브 바카라 all been good fun around the tour, it라이브 바카라 all part and parcel of a World Cup!”
