Valid points it definitely would have been a risk to play Neser in the final test. Naturally you want to remain loyal to your bowlers but also not pick a player based on how they once played. As for the mentality comment, I’ve found that over Starcy’s career he tends to get himself into a rut and just can’t break down the batsmen like he normally can. With him when it’s good it’s going great, but when it rains it pours. Personally I believe having a strong mentality is what can combat this. As for your comment about 3 right handers. I definitely see where your coming from and Starc does offer something different from our other 2 mainstay bowlers. However at the same time is it worth choosing a left-handed bowler to provide something different if he is struggling to make an impact himself
Michael Neser must be considered for the Ashes
I wouldn’t be surprised if we do see McLaren win a couple of races. Remember, Sainz was only 1 second off victory at Monza last year. And with their new power unit and upgrades they’ve made, I reckon they’ll pick up a couple of victories and move away from the rest of the midfield
Was F1's testing a false dawn?
Swepson was one of the best bowlers in the opening rounds of the shield, he has 23 wickets in 6 innings including 3 5-wicket-hauls. In One dayers Zampa is better but I’d argue that Swepson is the second best first-class spinner in the country behind Lyon
Australia's fourth Test selection headaches
Agreed, the fundamentals are definitely there. With time he’ll get better at rotating the strike once he gets more experience facing quality attacks. I wouldn’t mind seeing him included in Australia A games just to give him more time out in the middle
Bryce Street's defensive batting style could translate to Tests
