Anthony Stuart backs Mitchell Starc for Test debut – Cricket New Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 will be able to find a spot in the playing eleven when Australia take on New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (BCG) in Australia
on Thursday, December 1, 2011.
The left-arm pacer was named in the 12-man squad announced on Saturday, November 26. However, he will have to fight for his place with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Cutting-c1132, who have also been impressive in domestic tournaments.
All the above three bowlers played in a tour game against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 side and did a decent job. Pattinson was the most impressive, especially in the first innings, as he picked up four wickets.
Starc was also not behind, picking up three wickets in the first innings and one in the second. He will be confident of finding a spot in the Test side, but will have to wait for the start of next month.
The only bowler to struggle a bit was Cutting, who was expensive and struggled to pick up wickets.
NSW coach was almost certain on chances of Starc making debut in the longest version of the game and said, “It's exciting for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daryl-Mitchell-c52533. He has obviously had a taste when he made his ODI debut. He has obviously had some injuries since then so it's been a bit
of a road back for him. I'm hoping he gets a crack next week.”
Stuart further went onto say, “We had a goal to get him back-to-back games of four-dayers and he has gone through four for us and now the A game and I see he got New Zealand batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129 out cheaply in the second innings. That's five on the trot
for him and now to be in the frame for the Test match, it's a big milestone for him.”
If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822 will be a part of the playing eleven, as he has been doing a decent job since making his debut
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
