Episode Notes

In this episode, we break down five key lessons bowlers at any level can take from Starc’s Ashes series — not just what he did, but why it worked and how you can apply it this winter and into the season.

We dig into:

  • Why bowling fitness matters!

  • How Starc’s rhythm and smoothness help him maintain pace across long spells

  • The importance of constantly upskilling, even at the very top of the game

  • Why Starc is so dangerous from ball one — and how bowlers can start better

  • How to develop your own aura and presence as a bowler, regardless of level

If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world if you left us a 5★ review and shared it with someone who loves their cricket as much as we do!

All the best,
Wrighty & Barks
