He's lucky Haze is injured, he's looked out of sorts all summer. What in the hell is the bowling coach supposedly doing???

Starc is from the Mitchell Johnson school of bowling. Just try and bowl fast. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it fails.

Its erratic and unreliable. He's over-rated, just like Johnson was

This.

There is clearly a problem with his action. He's all over the place on release and he's lost his radar... So why is the f**king bowling coach not fixing it?

Thing with a guy like Starc, or Johnson or Lee, is that sometimes the best thing to sort out their action is a bag of wickets...

I'd rather Siddle than Starc's pies. At least Siddle would bowl more than 1 ball in 3 overs on the stumps! Cummins could open then too!

Lol.

Did you watch the ODIs Siddle tried to bowl in?

Or did they not make it across the Pacific?

Starc bowling right arm leg spin is a better option than Siddle, and you're an absolute cabbage

Siddle is depressing to watch. All that effort he puts in and he dishes up turd after steaming turd.

I'd keep Starc, his left arm erraticness gets wickets, he's a photocopy of Mitchell Johnston, but without the dickheaded attitude and shit facial hair.

Hazelwood though is just a slightly quicker version of Siddle. Nothing about what he bowls looks capable of getting wickets on a regular basis.

Jhye needs to be persevered with and kept. He is a different bowler to the outright express 145kph guys who just bowl straight up and down, and that is exactly what we need (and have long needed).

Need someone who can bowl a ton of maidens at one end while the other two focus on attacking wickets.

Haze and Starc are good bowlers who have performed well they just need a bit of competition to keep them from getting too comfortable.

Also Haze has stress fractures. They didn't just appear out of nowhere after the India series and no doubt affected him there.
