Hazlewood's 'dodgy prawn' bigger factor than Lyon omission: Starc
Key points
- Mitchell Starc says Josh Hazlewood's illness during the second Test in Gqeberha had as much impact as Nathan Lyon's omission from the side. Hazlewood was unwell with what Starc described as a dodgy prawn and spent day two in the hotel.
- Starc said the team had to adjust its bowling plans, with Beau Webster and part-time spinners bowling heavily. Lyon was left out for the first red-ball Test in 13 years and Scott Boland was picked instead.
- South Africa recovered after a slump, with the third Test in Cape Town still to come.
