"At the stumps, hit the pads. That's it. Nothing special." Starc revealed to ICC after day 1's play in Adelaide Test.

"That's been my role for a while: to attack the stumps and try and make early inroads. Pleased to sneak one past today. We know how important it is to make early inroads into this batting lineup. It's always a nice way to start. It is a big Test match; it’s a big series," the veteran added.
