Mitchell Starc, who recently made his 100th appearance for Australia in the longest format of the game, was praised by former skipper Ricky Ponting.

The pacer achieved the feat of completing 100 Test matches for Australia during the third Test match against West Indies, which was played at Sabina Park in Kingston.

Speaking about Starc, Ponting was nothing short of praise. The former skipper said that since his debut in the national side, everyone believed Starc would be a player to feature in 100 Tests and pick up 400-500 wickets in the format.
