Mitchell Starc blames outside noise for poor show against India two years ago, says 'not paying attention to anything now'
FirstpostStarc had received flak for his performance against India after taking 13 wickets during the four-Test series in 2018-19. Melbourne: Pace spearhead Mitchell Starc says he let the noise get to him when India toured Australia two years ago but “couldn’t care less” now as he gears up for the upcoming home Test series against Virat Kohli’s team. “I think I let the noise get to me, to be perfectly honest, which is a big reason why I don’t pay attention to anything now,” Starc was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. “The noise just got to me and people who really didn’t have any part of the team, opinions which they’re entitled to, now I just couldn’t care less what people say,” said Starc. As long as I have people around me who I trust talking to, and the changeroom as well that positive reinforcement is there no matter what.” Starc said he made some technical changes during last year’s Sheffield Shield games ahead of the home series against Pakistan, after struggling to strike a balance between accuracy and pace during the Ashes.
