I was thinking this when I read the rumours of Ali making a comeback, has dismissed him 9 times in 11 matches and may help Lyon get to 500 wickets a little bit quicker.Armchair expert wrote:Nathan Lyon licking his lips

I know he offers variety etc etc but just not sure how Starc will go this series. Went for close to 6 an over against the Indians who are not playing Bazball. Not sure variety is our best weapon against England......consistency of line and length wins the tests for mine. Look at the wicket of Bolands, a ball on a good line and length that just hit the seam and became unplayable.
I would be very tempted to play Cummins, Boland, Neser and Lyon and just test Englands patience.... lets get them switch hitting off a good line and length, lets seem some cross bat action from balls hitting the stumps.
Obviously Starc is a great one day bowler which potentially could translate to Bazball but I'm not convinced it will.

I understand your sentiment Whufc but like Bedge said Starc will play due to being the point of difference over Neser.
Yes Starc may be expensive but while I rate Neser as a very handy backup, can swing the ball both ways and is deadly when the conditions suit him at his pace I can see him being taken down quite easily by the English batters if there's no movement in the air and off the seam for him.

Moeen has been a quality player for England but he should never be the number 1 test spinner and he's shown he really struggles against Australia. Us wanting to produce flat tracks for the series seems stranger by the day.

He hasnt created much rough this test because he's hardly bowled because hes bowling rubbish, going at 6s and doesnt look like taking a wicket. IMO the ashes will be lost before it gets started if we pick Starc in the first 2 tests before realising that hes no good, the selectors were happy to drop Head in India in a horses for course policy but the same isnt shown for bowlers from NSW in England. His bowling there is as bad as Warners batting.
We need to learn some lessons from this Final

if England continue with their bazball theory , their bowlers will have less recovery between innings
