Mitchell Starc still cranking it up to the high 140s, The Hindu (Nov 7, 2026)

Mitchell Starc continues to crank it up to the high 140s, The Hindu wrote in a feature published on November 07, 2026 05:30 am IST.

The piece sets that sustained pace against the usual physical trade-offs fast bowlers face. In the life of a genuine fast bowler, the passage of time necessitates considerable compromises. As strands of grey sprinkle the hair and stiffness stymies the limbs, many cut down on searing velocity, and a fair few drift entirely towards white-ball cricket, not as backbreaking on an ageing body as a format requiring hard labour for five days of 90 overs each.

The article’s caption began: "Evergreen: Mitchell Starc continues to crank it up to the high 140s, his penchant for express pace overriding the sober realities of life in the fast lane."
