Mackay’s Harrup Park has officially become Australia’s 12th Test venue, and the home crowd witnessed an explosive opening as Australia produced the emphatic response they desperately needed in the second and final Test against Bangladesh.
With the very first ball of the match, Mitchell Starc set the tone crashing through the defence to claim a wicket immediately. What followed was a blistering spell of fast bowling: Starc tore through Bangladesh’s top order and completed a five‑wicket haul inside the opening hour, leaving the tourists reeling at 5‑13.
It was the kind of start Australia had been craving after their disappointing performance in Darwin, and Harrup Park’s Test debut could hardly have been scripted more dramatically.
