Mitchell Starc feels physically ready to play all five Tests this summer, declaring it will purely be the selectors' call if he misses the Hobart series finale
Paceman says he is feeling good ahead of day-nighter in Hobart
Scott Boland is nursing sore ribs because of his tumble on the SCG pitch, putting the Victorian at risk of missing the day-night Test that begins on Friday. There is speculation Starc could sit out the match because of workload concerns, but it would be a bold call given he is the world’s all-time leading wicket-taker in day-night Tests.
England’s poor batting, Josh Hazlewood’s side strain and Pat Cummins’ enforced omission in Adelaide have combined to largely soothe those concerns. But if selectors opt for an unchanged attack this week it would mark three consecutive Tests in which the same fast bowlers have steamed in.
