"Just A Magician With The Pink Ball": Ex-Australia Star's Ultimate Praise For Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc's rampant bowling on the first day of the second Test saw Australia crash through the Indian batting line-up at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. His brilliant bowling effort prompted former Australia opening batter Matthew Hayden to label the left-arm pacer as a 'magician with the pink ball'. "He has that scrambled seam delivery that goes across the right-hander, but when he does have that ability-which he did-I must admit I was a little surprised. I've never really seen the pink ball swing into the sort of 40th over and so aggressively swing as well. By that stage, he used a really important word, and it's a bit of an underrated word as well, and that's momentum," Hayden told Star Sports at the end of the day's play in Adelaide.
