On Day 1 of the fifth Test, the Australian speedster Mitchell Starc was the visitor’s top bowler. In the opening game of the Ashes 2023, Pat Cummins chose to win the toss and choose to bowl first. Following Starc’s outstanding bowling performance, England was dismissed for 283 on Day 1. The left-arm bowler now has 19 for the series after picking up four wickets.
Interesting enough, Mitchell Starc was bowling while suffering from a shoulder issue, but the 33-year-old made it clear before the match that he would not sit down but instead would take part in this game. It is important to note that Starc proceeded to bowl during the fourth Test despite landing hard on his shoulder on day two.
I don’t care about getting scanned or anything of the sort; we’ll worry about it at the end of the week. Something in the AC [joint] is causing a small amount of discomfort. Cricketmood quoted Starc as stating, “Nothing major, and I can still bowl and do what I need to do.
He had to leave the field on the first day for additional tapping, but he quickly returned and bowled a magnificent 90-mile delivery to dismiss the established and highest scoring Harry Brook for 85 (91).
For the Pat Cummins-coached team to win the series, Mitchell Starc performance will undoubtedly be essential.
On Day 1 of the fifth Test at The Oval, the pacer displayed remarkable ball control. To lead his team in wickets, he took out Stuart Broad, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, and Chris Woakes. In the Ashes 2023, the team captained by Ben Stokes will be attempting to tie the match after trailing 1-2 in the five-Test series. Australia was 61/1 at the conclusion of Day 1 of play with Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne in the middle.
