Mitchell Starc surprised to see low speed of Pakistani fast bowlers

Kangaroo’s left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc has been surprised to see the low pace attack of the Pakistan cricket team during the first test match in Perth.

In the first Test match the speed of the Pakistani pacers was not the same as the Pakistani bowlers who have toured Australia in the past. This attracted the attention of not only the fans but also the Australian camp.

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc expressed surprise at the low speed of Pakistan bowlers and said, “Everyone was expecting 150 km per hour from Pakistani bowlers. I think everyone is quite surprised at the low speed of the Pakistani bowlers because usually many Pakistani bowlers bowl at a speed of 150 km per hour.”

Stressing the importance of pace in the game, Starc said, “I don’t think pace is everything but it definitely makes a difference and can help a bowler.”

It should be noted that due to the absence of Naseem Shah due to injury and Haris Rauf not participating in the series, there is a shortage of bowlers who bowl at a fast speed of 150 kph in the Pakistani team.

Shaheen Shah Afridi also seems to be struggling to bowl at his usual pace after recovering from his knee injury.
