Australia’s Mitchell Starc is now one of the fastest bowlers in cricket history. "It's working for me and I'll definitely be keeping that one. Starc set tongues wagging on Sunday when he sent down a 160.4kph delivery during the third day of the second Test against NZ at the WACA Ground. He is the proud new owner of the fastest delivery in Test cricket, but Australian paceman Mitchell Starc will have to wait a bit longer before being accepted into the 100-mile club. "It would be nice but at the same time the two occasions I've been up around that (160kph) mark I've snapped my foot," he said. Starc bowls 160kph delivery against NZ When Starc sent world cricket into a frenzy after bowling a 160.4kph (99.7mph) rocket against New Zealand at the WACA Ground in November 2015, he broke down the following match – the inaugural day-night Test in Adelaide – … "And if Starc needed a reminder what his role in the Test side is, he wrote it on the strapping on his wrist, a colourful message that told him to 'F it' and bowl fast. "Starc played all five Tests last home summer but this time 12 months ago, he was not in Australia's first-choice Test XI for the Ashes in England.Australia's bowling plan in the UK was based around control and consistency, a tactic which suited the likes of seamer Peter Siddle over speedster Starc, whose search for extra pace led to more loose deliveries.Starc played one Test of the Ashes – the series-deciding fourth Test in Manchester where he picked up four wickets – but returned home with a muddled mind, unsure whether to focus on accuracy or bowl as fast as he could.After a rough start to the domestic summer, Starc tweaked his action with the help of NSW Blues assistant coach and former New Zealand allrounder Andre Adams, and the adjustment saw the quick retain his extreme pace and hone his radar. "Hopefully that's not the case but when everything's going well, that rhythm is happening and conditions suit, then I can get that speed gun up. WHEN Mitchell Starc sent down a 160.4km/h thunderbolt at the WACA Ground on Sunday, he became just the fifth person to officially bowl in excess of the magical 160km/h mark. "At the start of the (2019-20) summer and after that UK tour, I very much got in that line and length (and) consistency mindset that the whole (fast bowling) group were about through the Ashes," Starc recalls. Melbourne [Australia], Aug 13 (ANI): Australia pacer Mitchell Starc has bulked-up in his off season in the gym and as a result, the pacer now believes that he … Left-armer adds five kilograms of muscle during the off-season as he looks to maintain his status as the game's fastest bowlerA bulked-up Mitch Starc says his off-season in the gym and modified bowling action could see him hit the magical 100mph mark he came close to breaking five years ago.The left-armer has put on five kilograms of muscle while training with his NSW teammates during the COVID-19 layoff, which has allowed him to rest his fatigued frame following a taxing 11-month stretch of continuous cricket ahead of a blockbuster summer against Virat Kohli's India. "Perhaps that extra time in the gym and extra time off I might be able to push the limits again. The Aussie quick became the first left-armer to achieve the feat, one … "It's a nice simple one and when I've been at my best, I've always kept it simple," he said. "I still want to bowl fast and I'm not going to compromise that but I had to find a way that I wasn't expensive at the same time and I think that little tweak in the action has helped that. "Starc says a lack of appetite when he is bowling has been the major reason why his weight fluctuates throughout a summer, but he has made strides in that area to maintain his mass.While the addition of extra muscle is aimed at making the 30-year-old more resilient against his gruelling workloads as a fast bowler, it is also designed to make his third and fourth spells at the end of a Test series just as fast as his opening gambit at the start of a summer.But more weight means more force through Starc's front leg, which makes managing his mass a balancing act.And each time Starc has let go of the handbrake, injury has tended to follow.When Starc sent world cricket into a frenzy after bowling a 160.4kph (99.7mph) rocket against New Zealand at the WACA Ground in November 2015, he broke down the following match – the inaugural day-night Test in Adelaide – breaking his foot early in the contest.He suffered a stress fracture in the same foot halfway through the 2017 Test tour of India, and when he cranked up the pace again against Sri Lanka in February 2019 at Manuka Oval, where his average bowling speed was a blistering 151.3kph, it left Starc with a strained pectoral muscle.Those injuries remain in the back of Starc's mind when he considers letting loose but with a refreshed and reinforced physique, a return to those searing speeds are not out of the realms of possibility.
