AUS vs SA 2018: Mitchell Starc feels Rabada will 'learn' like he did

South African fast bowler, Kagiso Rabada has been in the headlines for all sorts of things of late. Rabada became the number one ranked Test bowler in the latest ICC rankings, but the bad news for the Proteas bowler is that he has been banned for the next two Tests against Australia courtesy an accumulation of too many demerit points.

The timing of the ban could not come at a better time for the Aussies. Rabada bowled a match-winning spell of fast bowling as he finished the match with figures of 11/150 in the second Test.

South Africa levelled the series after winning the match by six wickets. However, the Proteas will appeal against the two-match ban and hope that the 22-year-old bowling sensation can help them get better of the Aussies in a series where the heat is on between the players of both the teams.

Moreover, Rabada even received praises from his Australian counterpart, Mitchell Starc who feels Rabada will learn as he did after such incidents.

Starc said:

“He’s only young and made a couple of mistakes. He’s a fantastic bowler to watch when he’s in full flight and he’s going to keep taking wickets and keep celebrating. What’s he got now, four 10-fors? Dale (Steyn) has got five in a crapload more Test matches. I’m sure he’ll learn going forward that you just can’t get that close to the batter and the umps are going to be on you at all times. It’s very much a no-no … which I’ve learnt in the past.”

Australian coach Darren Lehmann and skipper Steven Smith also heaped praises on the fast bowlers. The two showed no delight in the fast bowler getting banned. Lehmann said:

“It’s never good seeing fantastic bowlers out of series”. While Smith suggested he always wants to “go up against the best players as much as you can”.
