Ricky Ponting is in awe of Mitchell Starc's continued effort to add new elements to his bowling arsenal. The former Aussie skipper has acknowledged that he has never seen Starc bowl better and finds it outstanding what he has done with the new ball.

“I don’t think I’ve seen him bowl better. It really has been quite outstanding what he’s done with the new ball.
