Mitchell Starc - GOAT World Cup performer?

[Buffet]

Without a doubt, he is the best bowler in history of world cup. SO far ahead of others that he does not need to do anything in this world cup.

No doubt

 

[FearlessRoar]

World cup stats are shinning for Starc

 

[Bhaijaan]

Greatest WC bowler ever

 

[Asad T]

Starc has taken a wicket in 22 consecutive ICC World Cup matches; that is quite an achievment

Shami is almost as good as Starc in World Cups except that he hasn’t won Bharat a semi final or a final yet

 

[Asad T]

That is some reccord

 

[Champ_Pal]

That is some reccord

He was totally off today. 17 wides from such a n experienced bowler is inexcusable.

 

[Sunzi]

Survived a ton-up by the skin of his teeth. Cummins had mercy.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mohammad Shaminwith another devastating performance tonight.

He’s up there with Starc as the world cups GOAT.

He has now dominated 3
World cups back to back

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Hasn't bowled like Starc of old for over 2 years now (apart from home ashes against a hapless English side in 2021).
The fear factor isn't quite there anymore even though his swing is still there. Batters have been taking him on. Those deadly yorkers and searing pace aren't there that often anymore. Have noticed some change in his action as well.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shami - 14 wickets in 3 matches this World Cup

44 wickets in 14 over all

Greatest of all time

Time to change the thread title @MenInG

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shami has a genuine challenge to this thread title @MenInG brother

Shami is the World Cup GOAT hands down

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shami takes 5 in the semi final

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shami takes 6th wicket in the semi final


GOAT

 

[Bhaijaan]

7-wicket haul for Shami

GOAT

 

[Bhaijaan]

This record

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Sorry Starc.
Shami is the world Cup GOAT

 

[sweep_shot]

Is this Starc's final ODI World Cup? Seems like it. Aussies have many great pacers.

Starc is a bit like Germany's Thomas Mueller. Dominated in the first few World Cups and then became benign.

That’s odd for you to say that. World Cup domination is not a norm and Starc dominated 2 world cups back to back. He’s behind Shami who dominated 3 world cups back to back but he’s still one of the greatest World Cup bowlers ever

 

[Devadwal]

Ridiculous number for shami .
17 match 54 wicket with average of 12.90 and strike rate of 15.33 with four 5 wicket halls.
One of the greatest Bowler in ICC world cup .

 

[Kianig89]

A true GOAT unlike many other, kept missing or lurking in pool games but cometh the moment cometh the man 3/34 early on Hazlewood broke the back of SA, one more performance please

 

[hassan918]

If he can put on a match winning performance this Sunday, he surely would be considered as one of the greatest World Cup performers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shami is an all condition bowler. Nobody has done that. Taking 7 wicket at Wankhede is next to impossible.

 

[160KPH]

Starc and Shami are both in the conversation but I still find it hard to argue against McGrath as the GOAT ODI WC Bowler.

 

[Kianig89]

Team India should sack their analyst, didn't he knew the reputation of Mitchell Starc in particular he is the master of reverse swing , if Indian team have done their recent home work they would have known how Starc & Co. fizzled out Pakistan in Test match at Karachi on a docile track , Reverse swing masterclass at Ahmedabad also and India had now answer

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Starc is on the decline now, this World Cup 2023 wasn't that great for him as he get thrashed by most of the sides.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Starc doing the shaheen things... took wicket in his very first over against bangladesh.

Starc's perfect start sets new world record

Mitchell Starc has become the most prolific wicket-taker in World Cup history, after claiming a wicket in the first over against Bangladesh in Australia's first Super Eights match of the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean.

Starc's 95th wicket in World Cups – one more than Sri Lanka legend Lasith Malinga – came from his 52nd match, as Australia made the perfect start to their Super Eights campaign after winning the toss and opting to bowl.

In his eighth ICC World Cup (three ODI, five T20I), the 34-year-old collected the wicket of opening batter Tanzid Hasan to set a new benchmark at ICC global showpiece events.

It came almost 12 years on from his first, when Irishman Paul Stirling was caught by Shane Watson at Colombo on September 19, 2012.

Starc, who sent a shudder through the Aussie camp in their opening win over Oman when he pulled up late with cramp, went on to take 10 wickets in that T20 tournament, which was his maiden World Cup. He was 22, and on his way.

Since, he has earned a reputation as a big tournament, big match player, and his remarkable World Cup record is Exhibit A in that testimony.

Starc's white-ball wizardry has teammates in awe

The left-arm quick was player of the tournament at the 2015 ODI event, where his burst of 6-28 in a low-scoring thriller against co-hosts New Zealand was instantly a classic World Cup performance. A month later he seared himself into the consciousness of every cricket fan in the world, when he ripped out Black Caps ace Brendon McCullum with a searing yorker in the first over of the final to put Australia on the path to another World Cup win.

Four years later Starc became the first player in ODI World Cup history to be the leading wicket-taker at multiple tournaments. Australia bowed out in the semi-finals but again Starc produced one of the tournament's most memorable moments when he scythed through Ben Stokes with a stunning in-swinging yorker.

In 2021 he was one of a handful of Australians to become a dual format World Cup winner when Aaron Finch's side stormed to a shock win, and Starc became a three-time winner last year when he added another 16 wickets to his remarkable ODI World Cup record.

Only Glenn McGrath (71) and Muthiah Muralitharan (68) have taken more than Starc's 65 wickets at ODI World Cups, though the likelihood is the veteran quick will finish on that tally; in the past 12 months he has hinted at retirement from the format with an eye to playing 100 Tests while also prolonging his T20 franchise career.

"Moving forward, I am certainly closer to the end of my career than the start," he said last month. "One format may drop off. There is a long time before the next one-day World Cup, and whether that format continues for me or not – it may open doors for more franchise cricket."

Hate stats that combine formats. They are absolutely meaningless to me.
