Who is to say this will be his last tour to the UK too. The gap is narrowing between Bradman, Freeman, Laver, Dawn and Siddle.

Of course you pick Siddle in a squad that size. It's not contestable. His record in England embarrasses everyone else in the team, with the exception of Hazlewood -
In 2013 and 2015 alike I was hearing nothing but how amazing Starc and Pattinson were supposed to be and Siddle outbowled them comfortably, and he's still here winning the Championship for Essex. Don't be surprised when he's your best seamer in the series again.
Code:
Player Wickets Average
Siddle 43 28.4
Starc 29 31.2
Hazlewood 16 25.6
Pattinson 7 43.9
Bird 2 62.5
This is the best XI right now for aus
Warner
Bancroft
Smith
Khawaja
Head/ M Marsh
Wade
Paine
Neser/Siddle
Pattinson
Lyon
Cummins
hazlewood out of form as is Starc(bowled woefully in the world cup SF and woeful in the intra squad match- hes inconsistent now in late career)
Pattinson and Neser, Siddle and Cummins were all destructive. They are threats to the paper thin eng batting especially Cummins and Pattinson.
These 4 will be rotated throughout the ashes, with possibly Hazlewood. Starc will be relegated to pro drinks carrier.

There is so much wrong with that team I am honestly not sure where to begin.

Cummins batting behind Lyon has to take the cake for sheer absurdity, that just seems so completely batshit insane to me

This article implying that not only will Pattinson definitely be in the XI, he will also be the first quick picked
Was apparently told after the shield final if you can keep fit you'll be playing ashes cricket. Gnarly

But we have to give Garry the opportunity to go the whole ashes without being dismissed again. Promote him to 10 and he'll start thinking he's a proper batsman, which is usually when he gets out

If his form is anything like last time I saw him bowl, he has to play. He's a beast.

No chance
Lee’ test average is inflated because his job was to blast people out with very little scoring protection as drying the runs up was left to others
Siddle is a good bowler but nothing more than a poor man’s dizzy

Yeah, no, Lee got the new ball and to bowl to the tail ahead of Gillespie and still ended with the average he did. Good fast bowlers are accurate enough to blast people out without consistently bleeding runs.
