The Ashes

[Ted Maul]

Why don't they see off Starc rather than trying to score off every ball he bowls. It really is stupidity. Lessons not learnt. Unsurprisingly.

He's a phenomenal bowler. Show him some respect, and defend against him, FFS.

Without Cummins and Hazlewood in the team, Starc is so so far ahead of their other bowlers. He's averaging 11 this Ashes.

Agree with you completely, play a bit more conservatively to Starc, score against the trundlers.

Even more so when you consider the wider implications for the series. We don't know how fit Cummins and Hazelwood will be, so the more overs Starc bowls up front the better. Instead we've let him bowl 36 overs for 13 wickets.
