Read our privacy policy Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey has backed Mitchell Starc to be ready for the decisive fifth and final test of the series against India when it starts in Sydney on Friday despite doubts over the fast bowler’s fitness. Starc was sent for back scans after clutching his ribs and side in the latter stages of Australia’s thrilling 184-run victory in the fourth test in Melbourne, which earned Pat Cummins’ side a 2-1 series lead. “So he’ll grimace, he’ll grab his rib, no doubt, but he’ll be ready for the contest.” Despite seeing Starc claim only one wicket during the fourth test, the vital scalp of Virat Kolhi during India’s second innings run chase, Carey was impressed with the 34-year-old’s performance at the MCG. open image in gallery Starc took the wicket of Virat Kohli in the fourth test to help Australia earn a crucial victory “I thought that first spell without the reward was, you know, some of the best bowling I’ve seen this series from him,” he said.
