he's definitely a good lower order hitter but ODI averages get more and more sketchy the lower down the order you get
Yeah, a quick look shows that Starc averages just over 5 runs per ODI so his runs are not exactly essential to the game plan

Disagree tbh. For a start I disagree on him feeling considerably slower than the speed gun suggests. He's not your stereotypical heavy ball bowler, but he's strong and hits the pitch pretty hard these days. I don't think any of the other England bowlers have actually looked faster than him. I mean, the other day for instance, his issue wasn't being too easy paced, it's that he bowled too short and got milked for singles square of the wicket (like the fourth ball of the 27th over just there). And he's definitely been a lot better with his lengths over the last few months than he has been the last three days.



Meh. How do you want him to get wickets in the death?
anderson definitely feels quicker than woakes.
