“I would say that people, media and fans, who’ve followed our team closely over the last few years would tend to agree [we don’t sledge],” Starc said. “We play cricket our way, we haven’t played Test cricket against South Africa since [2023], so they can say or have an approach however they like. “But we’ll stay true to how we’ve been playing our cricket, the way we’ve been playing to get into this final, the way we’ve been playing it the previous two years to get to that final [in 2023]. “We’ll have our tactical meetings and whatnot, but ultimately this team has shown over a period of time that we’ll stick to the way we play our cricket. Close followers of the team would have a different opinion to South Africa about how we’re going to play this week.”
