Ten Doeschate also praised Australia pacer Mitchell Starc, who delivered a career-best spell of 6/48, for his bowling effort. He went on to credit Starc’s success to the fact that he was the main exponent of swing bowling on either side.
“I think Ash’s dismissal was an example of why he’s so good with the pink-ball. Australia set us up nicely. When the ball swings back to a certain degree or a lesser degree, the batters can generally figure it out but when they’re guessing on both sides, it makes them far more effective.
“Just the areas bowled today were superb, and obviously he takes a lot of confidence from the pink ball, having done well in the past. And he’s probably the main exponent of swing bowling out of the two teams.”
