Starc’s Spell against New Zealand - Auckland,
Feb 28, 2015
Anyone
watching this match would have written off Australia, after they were bundled
out for 151 against a lethal pace attack of NZ. The target seemed a cakewalk
for the hosts, who were comfortably cruising to victory, with 130-4 after 19
overs. Then, Maxwell removed Anderson, and NZ’s tail was exposed. What followed
was a scintillating spell from Starc as he simply blazed through the lower
order, bagging the wickets of Ronchi, Milne and Southee. NZ were left tattering
at 146-9, and they huffed and puffed their way to victory as Williamson
remained level-headed and sent Cummins beyond the fence to secure a tense win
for NZ. This spell from Starc proved to one and all that even a low-scoring
game has the potential to become one hell of a thriller.
