Mitchell Starc has continued the Australian legacy of producing hostile, world-class fast bowlers.

Starc has a height of 6 ft 6 inches, which he uses to his advantage. He has a high-arm action and his wrist position helps him to bowl an accurate in-swinger, which has become his stock delivery. Starc also has a good bouncer and produces good carry due to his height.

Australia have always relied upon Starc to bowl in the death overs, and he has seldom disappointed them. He bowls consistently around 150 kph and keeps hitting the yorker length.

Starc was primarily responsible for carrying Australia's bowling attack in the 2015 World Cup, where he picked up 22 wickets. He was particularly effective during the death overs with his toe crushers.

In the last 24 months, Starc has bowled 213 deliveries, picking 15 wickets at an economy of 6.31.
