Mitchell Starc was put to sword like by no means earlier than in an ODI when Australia took on England within the fourth match of the sequence at Lord’s on Friday, brutally bringing again the nightmare reminiscence of India captain Rohit Sharma plundering the pacer in the course of the T20 World Cup earlier this yr.
In London, it was Liam Livingstone‘s flip so as to add Starc’s title in historical past books for an undesirable file because the English big-hitter smashed 28 runs off his over — the most costly by an Australian bowler in ODIs.
In June this yr, Australia’s ‘Tremendous 8’ match on the T20 World Cup noticed Rohit hammering Starc, taking 29 runs off his over — which is barely behind the 30 runs that all-rounder Glen Maxwell conceded for an Australian file in T20Is.
On Friday, in a sport lowered to 39 overs after morning rain, Livingstone handled Starc with utter disdain within the remaining over of England innings, hitting the Australian left-arm pacer for 4 sixes in an over that within the learn 6, 0, 6, 6, 6, 4.
Livingstone’s 27-ball 62 not out, together with 7 sixes and three fours, powered England to 312 for five. The house group’s pacers, led by Matthew Potts’ 4 for 38, then decimated the Aussie run-chase, bowling the guests out for a mere 126. Brydon Carse (3 for 36), Jofra Archer (2 for 33) and leg-spinner Adil Rashid (1 for 11) had been the opposite wicket-takers within the 186-run win that levelled the five-match sequence at 2-2.
Starc being despatched to cleaners by Livingstone introduced again recollections of Rohit’s sensational hitting in the course of the T20 World Cup match, when he performed most likely the perfect knock of the event — hitting eight sixes and 7 fours in his 41-ball 92.
The spotlight of Rohit’s knock was the third over of the Indian innings bowled by Starc, which noticed the India captain smashing 4 sixes and a 4 off the pacer. The broad made it a 29-run over.
A couple of weeks later, Starc spoke in regards to the onslaught by Rohit.
“I’ve performed lots towards him. He had a great event, particularly in our sport. I feel he focused that wind in St. Lucia as properly. In the event you have a look at the runs from every finish, one finish went for lots greater than the opposite. I bowled from that finish. I bowled 5 dangerous balls and he hit all of them,” Starc had mentioned on the LiSTNR Sport podcast.
