While Lyon’s fitness remains a concern, Starc himself expressed no doubts about backing up for the remainder of the series.
“[Feeling] good, ready to go,” he said.
“I think my average speed was better than anyone’s, so good to go.”
Australia’s experienced core had come under scrutiny ahead of the series, with questions raised about the age profile of the side. However, Starc feels that experience has worked in their favour.
“I think a lot was made about how old the group is and how experienced they are. Perhaps that’s played into our hands,” Starc expressed.
