Warne has been on my back for years: Mitchell Starc
Melbourne: Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc has hit back at former compatriot and legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne, saying he has been at his back for years and he was not worried by his criticisms any more.
“Warnie’s been on my back for years, so I’m not too worried about it,” Starc said.
The comment came in the wake of the leg-spinner and commentator criticising Starc for what he deemed his lack of presence in his follow-through at the Gabba and termed him as “soft”, after which the quick was ushered out of the Test team for the 11th time in his still formative, stop-start career.
“I’m still waiting for his phone call. Apparently he called me,” Starc said when asked about Warne in the wake of a standout performance for Sydney Sixers in their Big Bash League win over local rivals the .
On hearing Warne’s comment during the match, Starc retorted: “I was playing cricket. I wasn’t listening, He’s getting paid to talk, I’m getting paid to play cricket.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
