Wow. A lot of talk here that Mitchell Starc has been dropped for the first test.
The line up predicted by reliable media folk:
1. Warner 2. Bancroft 3. Khawaja 4. Smith 5. Head 6. Wade 7. Paine 8. Pattinson 9. Cummins 10. Lyon 11. Hazlewood.
If true, it would certainly be a risk considering Pattinson's injury history and the lack of an all-rounder to bowl 10-12 overs an innings in that team.
That looks a bowler light to me, especially when you factor in Hazlewood is coming back from injury. I would expect them to pick Mitch Marsh over Wade to give them another seam option.
