The Story in Brief
Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc clashed with Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz on Day 2 of the first Test in Darwin after Miraz ran through the protected area of the pitch. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena warned Miraz, who said he was watching the ball. Starc told him: “It’s my follow-through, not your follow-through. Get off the wicket,” and later added: “You’re not in Bangladesh now.” Bangladesh ended the day at 351 for 6, leading by 153 runs, with Tanzid Hasan scoring a century. The visitors are pushing for a historic Test win in Australia.
The Indian Opinion
Some fans see Starc's anger as another example of Australian aggression towards subcontinental teams. But the footage shows Miraz was not watching his path, and Ricky Ponting said it was not deliberate. Bangladesh's strong performance, a 153-run lead after being written off, should be the real story. Can they finally win a Test in Australia?
