Mitchell Starc, an Australian fast bowler, said that he was happy with how the team did on Day 3, focusing on the good results of getting the English team out and getting a big lead. By the end of the day, Australia had built up a lead of 221 runs over England, which was a big advantage.
Mitchell Starc talked about how well Australia bowled and praised the players for staying calm during the second inning. On Day 3, Australia’s first batsman, Usman Khawaja, played an amazing fifty without being out. This helped them get to 130 runs for two wickets.
Mitchell Starc agreed that the day’s play ended early, but he thought it was a very good morning for Australia. Starc said that Australia is in a good position because the team did a good job of building on their early successes. They did this by bowling well and staying strong in the face of increasing pressure, which put them in a good situation.
“It’s too bad that the game ended early today, but it was a great start for us to bowl them out and get a little bit of a lead in the morning. Our top players took advantage of this right away. There was some good bowling and pressure built, but our players were able to handle it. “Being able to build on that lead is a good place to be,” Starc told BBC Sport in an interview.
Starc also admitted that Australia’s plan for Day 3 was to get early wickets. The team’s plans worked out perfectly, as England was bowled out for 325 runs after starting the day at 278 for 4. This was because their last four batters were not as good, especially without Moeen Ali.
“Now that Moeen Ali isn’t playing, it’s clear that they have a longer tail. We knew that things might go the way they did if we could get rid of a few of Australia’s hitters early on. We were lucky that things turned out the way they did. We had a nice morning because if we didn’t, there was a good chance that we wouldn’t get a big partnership from Australia,” he said.
Nathan Lyon is not looking too good right now. Mitchell Starc
Nathan Lyon’s injury makes it unlikely that he will play in the Ashes game in 2023. Starc was worried about Lyon’s pain and his unsure availability. He also said that Lyon was always there for the team and had great skills.
“He doesn’t look too comfortable right now, which is a shame. He’s been very strong for us, making the team for 100 tests in a row. I hope it won’t take too long. Since he is on crutches right now, I don’t know if he will come back to the show. “It’s disappointing for him and for us because he’s a good player,” Starc said.
The weather on Day 3 was bad because it rained, so play had to stop early. At 130 for 2 wickets, Australia was 221 runs ahead of England, which was a strong lead. The English team will have to work hard over the next few days of the match to make up for this big gap.
