Mitchell Starc, who is part of the Australian team touring New Zealand for the Chappell-Hadlee series, has fond memories of the country and is eager to repeat his devastating performance with the ball against the Black Caps. Starc has been a fan of swinging conditions on offer in New Zealand and this is no secret, especially when one remembers his stupendous performance in the lone match he has played in the country during the 2015 ODI World Cup. "It's something the quicks are excited about, there's probably a bit more in it," he added. The other aspect of the swinging conditions was also the fact that Australian batters have not been able to cope up with them. The Auckland ODI will be followed by the second and third at Napier (February 2) and Hamilton (February 5) respectively.
