Mitchell Starc started playing cricket as a wicketkeeper, he reveals in an interview in CLT20.com, and it was much later that he realised that his height held him in good stead for a bowling role rather than behind the wickets.
"I have got height so I am little bit too tall for 'keeping. I think it was Under-16 when I started really focusing on bowling and trying to work out how I was going to go about my bowling and that sort of thing. I just try to keep everything natural and had a lot of help around me to get to where I am today. So that's a good change in the end; so I am glad I could glad I gave the gloves up."
