Mitchell Starc was thrilled that Australia were the first team to book their place in the semi-finals of the ICC Men바카라s World Cup 2019 following their victory over England at Lord바카라s.
Despite already having qualified for the semi-finals 바카라 Starc says there will be no let up from Australia as they take on New Zealand and South Africa in their final two group games.
He said: 바카라There바카라s a lot of cricket to come before semi-final time. We바카라ve got two really important games but playing here at Lord바카라s where the final바카라s going to be has given us confidence,바카라 he said.
바카라We바카라ve got another game here against New Zealand, which is going to be tough. They바카라re playing some fantastic cricket and they바카라ve really gone under the radar. Nobody바카라s really spoken too much about them and they keep winning games.
바카라So they바카라ve got a really strong side, Kane Williamson is their lynchpin in the middle and they have bowlers who swing the ball, so it바카라s another big game but we바카라ve cemented our spot in the semis and we want to try and finish as high as we can building towards the final series of matches.바카라
Starc was happy to share the bowling laurels with his more unsung fellow left-armer, Jason Behrendorff, who took a five-for in only his second World Cup match.
바카라Dorff bowled awesome, beautifully, and deserved his five wickets - and it바카라s great to see him do so well here at Lord바카라s against England. I바카라ve bowled a fair bit with Mitchell Johnson in the past and this showed again today that there바카라s no reason why you can바카라t play two left armers when the pitch and match-ups suit.
바카라Dorff actually asked me if there was anything of note about the wicket here and, to be honest, I didn바카라t have much for him as I haven바카라t been here for about four years.바카라
They key to the victory, felt Starc, was the way the Australian bowlers got their lengths right in the England innings. 바카라After watching them, as a bowling group we all wanted to bowl a bit fuller and make them drive the ball, and I think we did that really well. It was a positive for us to bowl them out and win the game fairly strongly.바카라
With typical modesty, he was not making a big deal of the key delivery, a reverse swing yorker, that skittled Ben Stokes just as England바카라s dangerous all-rounder looked particularly threatening.
바카라He바카라s a fantastic player, one of their key batters. He nearly got them home against Sri Lanka and so we knew while he was batting that we couldn바카라t rest up. Fortunately, I got one through the gate,바카라 shrugged Starc.
Some were hailing it as the delivery of the tournament so far, but Starc insisted: 바카라I바카라ve got a pretty simple one-day plan and for me its all about execution.
바카라To execute that ball exactly how I wanted and for it to result the way it did was pleasing for me - but it was pleasing to contribute to the whole group.바카라
Start also laughed off an incident at breakfast in his team hotel when a supporter 바카라sledged바카라 him while he was going to eat his three poached eggs.
바카라Some bloke in a suit was having a go about my strapping tape on my elbow and about me eating too much and how it was going to affect my bowling!바카라 smiled Starc.
바카라He had a bit of a click at me - all good fun. I was still half-asleep, didn바카라t think much of it. It바카라s all been good fun around the tour, it바카라s all part and parcel of a World Cup!바카라
