SYDNEY (Reuters) - Mitchell Starc admits criticism affected his performances the last time India toured Australia but the fast bowler says he has learned to block out the "noise" and is determined to make amends against Virat Kohli's side in the upcoming test series.

Spin great Shane Warne described Starc's bowling as "atrocious" after he took five wickets in the opening match against India on their 2018-19 tour, a match the tourists won by 31 runs to set up their first ever test series win in Australia.
