Replying to @RexClementine
2 weeks from now, Rex will be telling all of us how Aravinda was a party animal the night before he scored a ton in NZ.
Was unnecessarily criticized in first test for his bowling saying he didn't show enough intensity to lead the attack when he did a good job nevertheless from a run saving POV and got a couple of wickets of Smith including
I mean Smith saved his bowlers in the sandpaper scandal along with Warner and Bancroft on the same ground 8 years ago
If there is any animosity and frustration towards a batsmen it's ironic to have it against Smith

Dilshan Madushanka’s wicket-taking efficiency is historically elite.
Min. 50 ODI wickets (major nations), lowest career bowling strike rates:
1. CJ Anderson - 24.7
2. D Madushanka - 25.4
3. M Shami - 25.8
4. S Afridi - 26.2
Averages a wicket every 25.4 balls. What a bowler.
Is it a stretch to say on form that if he wasn't captain, his place would be discussed for rotation with Boland ?

Yeah wobble is good and really effective but it's a different sight watching a fast bowler swining in at pace and running through a side!

This is why it's very hard to drop Starc. He can bowl these type of spell out of nowhere and all out the opposition team on his own

Mitchell Starc's first 12 overs: 0-62
Mitchell Starc's next 4.3 overs: 6-10
Starc getting some sort of redemption on the same ground he was ridiculed on 2018 is a nice piece of story arc
Since Smith isn't there for the main act, Starc is playing the main act
