#4 The pace factor and searing yorkers
It isn't often that Test bowlers use the yorker as a big weapon. More of a limited-overs tactic, the toe crushers have been one of Starc's best weapons in the format. Capable of constantly touching the 150kmph mark, Starc has used it as a surprise weapon in the format.
The manner in which he builds up towards the yorker has been as important as the execution of the plan itself and this has led to the downfall of quite a few batsmen. The thing with pace through the air is that it is independent of the pitch, and this has helped Starc be quite effective even in subcontinental conditions where fast bowlers usually struggle.
