Starc almost "pushes" the ball out in his release. His right shoulder opens up differently for right handers compared to lefties, doesn't allow him to get that shape from leg stump (to the left hander) like he does from off stump (to the right hander).

Boult is much better suited than any Australian bowler to snicking off Ballance. I don't like Haze going around the wicket to him though.

Do you think a slight alteration in the angle of his run up a la McGrath would help fix that issue?

I hate saying this and I would rather drink acid than repeating myself but Root is seriously good. Smith/Root/Abdv the top 3 test batsmen in the world as of now.

Ponting's been excellent on the Sky coverage, as have the rest of the crew. How you guys in Australia coping?

Nah, think it's more to do with his load up. there are so many moving levers with Starc; as Ponting said during the Big Bash, he's a 6'6 guy with a massive long leap in his action - he does well to get it right as often as he does.

actually this is a bad example because there were no lefties/spinners, plus it might have happened before the ump's call margin was increased

Really annoys me when bowlers swap from over to around the wicket so often in search of a wicket when all it appears to do is upset their rythmn, and it seems like something Johnson has done too much of since this last summer.
