Mitcell Starc's Interview With Willow Talk, As Reported By ICC

On Rohit Sharma:

"I have played a lot against him. He had a good tournament, especially at the back end.I think he targeted that wind in St Lucia as well. It was the one end that went for lot more than the other. I think I had five bad balls and he hit them all for six."

On Australia's Defeat To India In Super 8:

"We thought it was close to par, maybe a little bit over par but it was the best wicket at the World Cup that we played on. It was probably the quickest wicket. Certainly chaseable, we were on target for a while and a couple of hiccups and some good bowling from them just set us back.”

On What Eventually Led To Australia's Dismal Exit From T20 World Cup 2024:

“Two losses. The last two games that we played wasn't our best cricket and not the result we wanted. It was probably a misread of conditions in that Afghanistan game. They obviously played some good cricket and we probably didn't play our best. Think our fielding was a little bit short throughout the whole tournament.”

On Omission From Playing XI In Crucial Fixture Against Afghanistan And Afghanistan's Performance:

"Just the match-up. They saw previous games on that ground in St Vincent with spin playing a big part. Obviously, Ash [Ashton Agar] and the left-arm enticed them to make a change. It is what it is.”

"Ash bowled well in the Powerplay but they probably played spin quite well and batting first, assessed the conditions a little bit better than we did. We had a couple of little stumbles that in the end cost us the game. It just set us back. Ultimately, they played the better cricket.”
