Fast and furious: Starc relishing new role
Mitchell Starc lauds Australia's team effort in their four-wicket win over India
* Starc is relishing his new role as the new strike bowler for Australia in the absence of Mitchell Johnson.
Mitchell Starc, who starred with the ball claiming 6 for 43 against India in Australia's six-wicket victory in the second match of the tri-series, lauded his team's all-round effort at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
"The ball is coming out well and Australia are winning, can't ask for any more," he said after picking up the man of the match award. "I got some swing early on, then the ball started to reverse, I was happy to get a few key wickets," said Starc after the match.
"All the bowlers did a great job. Rohit Sharma was excellent with the bat, but [James] Faulkner did it again. He has done it twice in three nights for us," added Starc.
The fast bowler had played a vital role in Australia's victory over England in the tri-series opener and in the absence of Mitchell Johnson, who is out with an injury, is relishing the role of an opening bowler. "It will be great to have him back but in his absence I like this role. It is great to take wickets while trying to bowl fast and doing my role for the team," he said.
Australian captain George Bailey felt that his team, despite the win, could perform a little better and said that the Finch was unlucky to miss out on a century. In chase of Indias 269, Aaron Finch led the way for the hosts scoring 96.
"We could have been slightly better, but it was a good performance," Bailey said. "We had a couple of good partnerships, especially between [Steve] Smith and Finch. I think Finchy deserved a hundred. Finchy has been in very good touch, he found it hard tonight but he battled it out," he said.
