Australia pacer Mitchell Starc claimed the Compton-Miller Medal after finishing with 31 wickets and contributing 156 runs. The 35-year-old was lethal right from the opening over of the series, dismissing England’s openers four times in the first over of an innings. He finished with two five-wicket hauls and a 10-wicket match haul. He also became the most successful left-arm seamer during the Brisbane Test. Starc’s valuable knocks of 77 and 54 in Brisbane and Adelaide demonstrated his importance with the bat as well.
