Starc becomes first Aussie pacer to take 10 wickets in 34 year

Mitchell Starc produced a vintage display of pace and skill to become the first player to take 10 wickets in a match at Perth Stadium, and he did it in style during the opening Ashes Test against England.

He finished with match figures of 10 for 113, including a devastating 7 for 58 in the first innings and 3 for 55 in the second.

Starc's seven-wicket first innings set the tone, and he returned on Day 2 to dismiss key batsmen Joe Root and captain Ben Stokes, sealing his ten-wicket haul.

This feat marks him as the first Australian fast bowler in 34 years to take a ten-for in an Ashes Test. Craig McDermott took 11 wickets for 157 runs in an Ashes match at the Perth Stadium in 1991.

His ruthless bowling helped Australia wrap up a dominant eight-wicket win in just two days, putting them firmly in control of the series. For his handy performance, Starc was named the man of the match of the first Test match of the Ashes.
