Starc and Hazlewood are now approaching 34 and 33 respectively.
I can only think of one Australian fast bowler in recent history who played past that age and still looked threatening - Glenn McGrath.
Andy Bichel, Jason Gillespie, Stuart Clark, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris didn't play test cricket past 33/34. .
Our test schedule over the next 12 months is fairly soft and it includes Pakistan (home), WI (home), NZ (away) and then India (home 24/25), SL (away), WI (away) and then Eng (home).
I'm not convinced these two should be playing past this home summer, and depending on how the current Ashes series pans out, then i'm not convinced these two are certain starters for our home summer.
I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I have been watching cricket for a long time, i have played the game, i have studied the game.
Worrying signs - im not often proven wrong when it comes to cricket.
