In the preliminary game too he single handed near won the game for Australia after we only made 150. Good reason he was Man if the Series at the last World Cup. He has 141 ODI wickets, economy rate of 4.93 a strike rate of a very low 25 balls per wicket. You don't get that just bowling out the lower order.
Hate to say it but this pie chart makes you claims about Starc look very wrong. Bottom order wickets you say?...lol.

Sorry I just saw this reply.
Bottom of the Innings is not the same as bottom of the order, low order or bottom order!
When I referred to Starc against the top order I'm discussing his bowling early in the innings against openers, my bad for the poor choice of phrase.
He collects their wickets and plenty of other wickets but often collects wickets late in the innings often after otherwise expensive opening spells with the new ball. This has always been his issue, spraying the new ball, and in my opinion it stops him being right up their with Australia's greatest bowlers.

I'm a strong cynic of his appointment and even I'm shocked at how quickly this has happened.
NSW boys must be fired up, they'll be like cut snakes as they have a bunch of redundant Baggy Green caps sitting in brown paper bags somewhere. But perhaps this is about Smith and Warner, creating an environment and results that ultimately lead to their seamless resumption, because it's hard to see much success with the Marsh boys on the front line!
