They've all got way too big of egos to sit out one of Boxing day/Pink test.

Cummins’s comment today suggest otherwise.

What did he say that gave you that impression? Sounds like he gave a generic 'he might get play again" answer
Nothing wrong with the bowling for the need to add another.....Lyon bowled very little so far and the last test was 2 and a bit days..
I would go the other way and add an extra batter as our batting is way under par atm 6 bats keeper 4 bowlers for me

No it’s not. Simply put who out of Haze, Starc or Cummins are you dropping? Lyon isn’t being dropped so go on tell us who you are dropping, one is our captain, one was near MOTM last test and the other is our highest ranked ICC bowler in Haze who was outstanding in Perth.
If we didn’t want an AR we’d play Inglis. Boland has nothing to do with it.

Care is not a 6, he’s not Adam Gilchrist mate. He is a 30 ish average keeper bat and that’s fine but no we aren’t batting him at 6.

That he’d be surprised if he didn’t play again this series. I’ll take his comments at face value.

Will not shock me if Starc rests in Melbourne short turnaround to SL and he’ll be one of the two quicks we play there

My thoughts too Luke, that or a Hazlewood niggle would be fairly short odds I’d reckon.
It’s a shame for Boland, but I won’t be surprised if we see him again. Massive shame about Neser.

Don’t think Neser plays unless Starc doesn’t anyway and he hasn’t missed a test so far anyway
The Vicco offended in here re: Boland is all time.
With the forecasted rain and overcast conditions, surely Webster comes in for Lyon....as how many overs is Lyon going to be realistically called on to bowl? Strengthen the batting with Webster coming in at 7 or 8
Quite possibly the most ridiculous comment on these boards.
Oh wait i found an even dumber one....
If Starc misses anywhere, it should be Sydney. He averages 44 there and has never taken more than 3 in an innings.
Why exactly? Bar individual efforts our batting has been embarrassing for a long time now. So why the f*** waste spots with idiots who can't get the job done when we can run through the opposition with what is quite possibly the best bowling lineup we've ever had.
I normally side with Victorians on most things when it comes to Sport, but they just don't know cricket.

Boland is stiff to miss out, but Hazlewood is the better player, if he's fit, then you select him.
I'm still waiting for them to finally drop Smith, he's awful.

If anyone deserves a bit of extra leeway before they get dropped, it's Smith.
He's a once in a generation player and has been the unrivalled best test batter in the world for nearly 10 years.
I agree he looks shit at the moment, but I'd like to give him the rest of the summer before we pull the pin on our best cricketer since Ponting.

Sure, he may have one of the better careers we've seen, but eventually you just need to pull the plug, he's not up to standard anymore.
Iceman!

I think it is more because they are better off having one of the best spinners in the world to play alongside 3 of the best quicks in the world.
Simply put balance wise we get a diminished return having the 4th pace bowler 99/100
