It’s small margins, I think, as test cricket often is
Day/night favours Australia and they have Starc on a hot streak. However, just a start from some of those 4 ducks in our innings and we’d have been up near 400. A lot of runs conceded behind square is frustrating, but with the exception of Archer, none of the bowlers have the pace (or swing) of Starc to be successful pitching it up all the time. But they’ve been no less successful in most ways than the non-Starc Australians. Basically, he’s been the difference.
