Top 5 Bouts anticipated to ignite the Ashes 2015 fire

3. Alastair Cook v/s Mitchell Starc:

If you ask any cricket expert or pundit, as to who is the best bowler in the world these days? Then, the answer will be Mitchell Starc, which is a no bombshell. This man has been in best form of his life with his bowling consistently clocking the 150 kmph mark and when the ball swings on that pace then at times, he becomes unplayable as well. While, on the other side lies the greatest ever English test batsmen: Alastair Cook who recently crossed the glorious mark of 9,000 test runs. After a prolonged slump in form, he is again back to his best with 577 runs in 5 tests this year, at an outstanding average of 64 with 2 centuries and 4 half-centuries in as many as 10 innings.

Every coin has another side to it. If we scrutinize Starc’s performances, then we find out that he is yet to stamp his authority with red cherry in hand as such and much. Similarly, Cook is also the English team skipper, the high pressure of which will surely have an impact on his batting as well.

Get ready for a magnificent clash between the gritty left handed batter; Cook and left arm speedster; Starc. Let’s see whether Starc shows stars to Cook in daylight or Cook will made a delicious meal out of Starc.
