The Aussies recently kicked-off their tour of UAE with a comfortable win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 (2 for 34) also put in commanding shifts to earn their side a 66-run victory.
Despite the pitches in UAE expected to offer plenty of assistance to spinners, Starc is confident in his ability to delivery with the ball. “We prepared for wickets that were going to spin a lot," Starc said. "The quicks took nine of our wickets, so the fast bowlers are going to play a massive part as well as the spinners in these conditions."
