Sat Dec 07 11:04:04 UTC 2024: ## Starc’s Six-Wicket Haul Dominates Day One of Adelaide Test

**Adelaide, Australia** – Mitchell Starc spearheaded Australia’s dominant performance on day one of the second Test against India in Adelaide, capturing six wickets and restricting India to a paltry 180 runs. A crowd of nearly 50,000 witnessed the thrilling pink-ball contest at the Adelaide Oval.

The Indian batting lineup struggled against the Australian pace attack, with Starc proving particularly devastating. The Australian bowlers exploited the conditions effectively, leaving the Indian batsmen looking bewildered.

While the on-field action was captivating, a technical glitch briefly stole the spotlight. A speed gun error initially registered Mohammed Siraj’s delivery at an improbable 181.6 km/h, a speed that would have shattered existing records. Broadcasters quickly corrected the error, but not before social media erupted with excitement and disbelief. The incident, however, was overshadowed by Starc’s impressive bowling figures.

The day also saw a heated exchange between Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne, adding a touch of spice to the already intense match. The full scores and detailed match statistics were not provided in the source text.
