Don't need 2 quicks. 1 quick + Webster should suffice.
Think Connolly only plays if Kuhnemann is unavailable.
Given the description of Kuhnemann's injury, there is no way he's going to be available. It wasn't his bowling hand, but there's no way he can bat or field with an injury like that.
Thought they are saying he is good to go?

Sri Lanka played 2 quicks + 2 spinners when they beat New Zealand 2-0 at home
Webster would be our 2nd quick.
I'll believe it when I see him walking out onto the field, and not one second before then. This reaks of CA playing smoke & mirrors, trying to hide what's really happening.Thought they are saying he is good to go?
Kuhnemann cleared for Sri Lanka tour after thumb injury | cricket.com.au
Boost for Australia with left-armer cleared to link up with squad in Sri Lanka ahead of next week's…
Medium.
The Aussie women are outstanding. Deserved a bigger crowd at Adelaide Oval.
That's sounds like a lot of part timers, though.
Lyon & Kuhnemann likely to bowl 60+% of the time.
Isn't Smith injured?
Unless it's a complete raging turner, 2 quicks, 2 main spinners & Webster, Head, Labuschagne & perhaps McSweeney would be plenty.
Not much workload for quicks on the Sri Lankan decks. If anything, Webster's ability to bowl spin as well as medium pace relieves the workload on our spinners.
Which you can bet with almost certainty that it will be. At best, it will be a deck that offers less than nothing for the quicks.
Starc has an awesome record in Sri Lanka. Averages 17.
It's clear we have differing opinions here. I'd be going in with Starc & Webster, leaving room for an extra spinner. As a bonus, that extra spinner is likely to be Cooper Connelly, which also gives us an extra batsman.
Why, when are quicks have a better record than our spinners?
Lyon outside of Australia has a mediocre record - he's not a big turner of the ball, and the overspin is less effective overseas.
Don't bully Mostyn.
