da bwin： Stats highlights of Mitchell Starc’s record-breaking ODI career
da aposte e ganhe： S Rajesh21-Aug-2016When Mitchell Starc had Dhananjaya de Silva caught at midwicket off a slower ball, he became the fastest to 100 ODI wickets, achieving the landmark in his 52nd match, a game quicker than Saqlain Mushtaq, and two quicker than Shane Bond. After an inauspicious start to his ODI career – 0 for 51 off 8.5 overs against India – Starc has been on an ODI roll, with 11 hauls of four or more wickets. No other bowler has as many four-wicket hauls at the time when they got to 100 – the next best is Waqar Younis, who had ten such hauls when he reached the 100-wicket mark.Starc’s first 50 wickets took 29 games; while that was still impressive, 21 players had reached that mark faster, with Ajantha Mendis getting there in just 19. Starc was ten matches behind Mendis at that stage, but he is 11 games ahead at the 100-wicket mark – Mendis only got there in his 63rd ODI.
