Cricketer Mitchell Starc's brother wins high jump gold

Brandon Starc

Mitchell Starc's younger brother, Alyssa Healy's brother-in-law - Commonwealth Games champion Australian high jumper Brandon Starc has quite a cricket connection but ask him about it and he says "Naah, not my sport." Starc achieved a personal best of 2.32m to clinch the biggest medal of his career after the silver at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. He mostly laughed at questions on his cricket connection. A question on his brother Mitchell was an inevitable one. Starc was quick to brush it aside.

"No, I don't follow cricket. That's my brother's sport. I played when I was younger but not that wasn't mine. We played when we were younger in the backyard, that's it," he said.
