Cricket(Australian attack against New Zealand)
Adelaide: Mitchell Starc didn't like the concept of playing with a pink ball under lights when the first-ever day-night Test match was initially put on the schedule.(Bowlers in the Pink)
Now, as he readies to lead the Australian attack against New Zealand in what is essentially a live trial for the concept, Starc may have a more open mind.(Starc Ready for Action)
Taking eight wickets (5-28 and 3-62) with the pink ball for New South Wales in an interstate Sheffield Shield match against South Australia last month prepared him well for the Test starting Friday at the Adelaide Oval.(Test Makeover Faces Pink Revolution)
Starc has been Australia's form bowler since the start of the year, helping his country capture a World Cup title - capped with a win over co-host New Zealand in the final - and last week bowling the fastest delivery ever recorded officially in a Test match at 160.4 kph (99.7 mph).
He'll have more responsibility now as the senior bowler after veteran pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson retired following the drawn second Test in Perth.
