Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He maha nga marama i muri i tana whakaingoa ki a ia ko te'momo' e tetahi o nga tino kirikiti o Ahitereiria, a, i te wehenga atu i te XI whakamatau o Ahitereiria, kua pootihia a Mitchell Starc hei kaitakaro o te Ipu o te Ao. Ko te uara o Starc ki te kapa Ahitereiria kaore i tino kitea i te wa i peia ai e ia te rangatira o Niu Tireni a Brendon McCullum i te ra tuatahi o te ra whakamutunga o te Ratapu. Kāore i tino ora ake te inenga o Aotearoa, ā, ka riro i a Ahitereiria he wikitōria e whitu ngā poitūkohu. He torutoru pea i matapae i te pānga o Starc i tēnei whakataetae i te marama o Tihema i te wā i hoki mai ai te kaiwhawhai o te ringa maui ki te 2-110 i te whakamātautau tuarua ki a Inia i Brisbane, i arahi ai a Shane Warne ki te whakaahua i te reo tinana o Starc hei 'hauhau'. Kua tohua a Mitchell Starc, kaitākaro pounamu o Ahitereiria hei tangata o te whakataetae i te Ipu o te Ao Kirikiti. E whakanui ana a Starc i muri i tana whiwhinga i te wikitōria a Brendon McCullum i te whiringa toa. Kei te whakanui te kapa Ahitereiria i te karauna i muri i te taitara toa o te ao i Melbourne. I muri mai i tukuna te Starc 25-tau-tawhito mo te Whakamatau o te Ra Peke i te Melbourne Cricket Ground, te waahi ano i whakaingoatia ai ia hei kaitakaro o te whakataetae i te Ratapu i muri i tana whakamahi i te riri hou ki te hopu 22 wickets puta noa i te Ipu o te Ao. 'Kua mahi nui ahau i te reira mo te maha o nga marama inaianei me (kaiako bowling) Craig McDermott i roto i te papamuri,' ka mea a Starc. 'I etahi raupapa kua pahure ake nei ka noho matou ki raro, ka kitea he mahere iti, me te kite i te hua o te hua, he mea whakamiharo.' I kii ia ko tana tukunga o te kēmu o McCullum i te whutupaoro tuarima o te whutupaoro whakamutunga ko te waimarie me te whakamahere. Ko Shane Warne, nāna i whakakore i a Starc hei'mōrearea' i mua i te whakataetae, e whakaahua ana i a Kapene Michael Clarke. 'He nui te waimarie i uru mai ki taku whakaaro, engari he mahere iti tera na Craig me au i haere i etahi ra kua hipa,' i kii ia. 'He tino whakamiharo a Brendon i roto i te whakataetae katoa na ki taku whakaaro he nui te waimarie i uru mai. E hari ana ahau ki te whiwhi i taua mea.' I muri i te whakataetae e mōhiotia ana mō ngā whakaaturanga pākihi...
I whiua e Ahitereiria a Aotearoa e whitu ngā poitūkohu hei toa i te kapa Kirikiti o te Ao. Ko Mitchell Starc, te kaieke maui, i tapaina hei kaitākaro pai rawa atu o te whakataetae. Ko te pakiwaitara a Shane Warne i whakakore i te kaiwhawhai hei'ngawari'i mua i te timatanga.
