That would be the last combo I'd go with, they will get used of the same style and would benefit them for the remaining tests if the pair were to play together again.
I don't think Hazelwood will get a guernsey, Starc will be lining up I'd imagine.
Even though Siddle scored some runs at Edgbaston, our tail looks a little long with no Starc or Pattinson in there.

If the selectors think he's a better fit for the third than the second (or his replacement is better at Lords than the 3rd test) then I'm happy to back them in. No issues for mine with Patto being rested as required - assuming he plays the third test obviously.
As for Hazlewood or Starc to come in, Starc clearly provides a bigger point of difference to Siddle than Josh, however I still think Josh is different enough from Peter that its fine to play both. Josh will get the ball to do a bit off the seam no dramas. Siddle is more your grinder keeping it tight. Starc's point of difference while being a big + for him, isn't enough for mine to overcome the negative of him leaking runs. As others have said, the Poms want to hit boundaries and get themselves out if they don't hit one for a few overs. Josh's added control over Starc outweighs the lack of variation in our attack.
I'm backing the selectors in, looking forward to tonight's action!

Good prices on a result.
