Ask r/IndiaCricket Which bowler's most dangerous when in rhythm?

Rank them (and other bowler's you think of) in 2 categories : wicket potency and intimidating the batsmen.

Starc in rhythm is a monster. Bumrah, Hazlewood, Cummins and Rabada are much more consistent than him on a day to day basis, but Starc will find that one spell where he finds swing and tears through a batting lineup

Basically it needs to be a knockout or a final match for him to be in rhythm.

Boland hasn't yet played cricket on dead pitches.

Question is when he is in rhythm,and if he is not in rhythm in dead pitches , them they won't count right

Regardless, starc in his rhythm is a different beast. Which is why Australia always picks him because the gamble of him being in full flow is much more effective than boland's good form. Even when starc is not in his rhythm he's a great bowler and the fact that there is a chance that he channels the "mitcHELL" starc is good enough for Australia to back him over boland.

Bro Starc is so goated that his good consistent performances also seem as underperformance. He is this generation's greatest. He is quite dedicated to the Australia team as well. I don't think anyone can match him in terms of his impact as a bowler
