Cummins and Haze stay. Lyon for now. Starc out for either Richardson, Spencer Johnson, Boland or Bartlett. Fitness is an issue (though I hope I don’t jinx Boland by excepting him from that observation).
They’re all playing atm and I’d go for Jhye for 2 matches, Bartlett at Brisbane and Boland at the G. Though I wonder if Bartlett might be suited to the pink ball so could play him for those tests instead.

Drop starc going into a pink ball test?

If two catches were not dropped in the 1st innings off his bowling, he'd be just one wicket away from a 10-fer.

I am very critical on Starc at times but in the first innings he was great, and while he went for a bit of tap in the second I think he bowled better than the figures suggested and had his bad balls really exposed (something that doesn’t usually happen). Dropping him now screams of change for change sake.
Although, we really can’t pick the same attack for all 5 Tests.

There's a fairly big gap between these two tests but they have to be rotated at some point

Lol reckon Siraj tried to bluff the umpire that it was plumb there (and probably his captain). Had me questioning my initial reaction. Nice try son

I don’t know if he’s that smart but good for him if so
it was lot closer than Jurel decision which was blind umpires given out.lol
Meanwhile, NSW has just started to bat in a shield game. I'd take that top 5 over the Aussie top 5 at the moment (Khawaja can stay)
1. Maddinson
2. Konstas
3. Patterson
4. Davies
5. Philippe
Big hundreds by Konstas and Davies would be nice to put some pressure on the 'undroppables' for the 2nd Test

there's a slim chance now that India might sneak home here.

He's just been made captain of Qld so going back to captain a shield side might be good for him and just what he needs to fight his way back?

These two look decent so far. Hope Sundar keeps things tight atleast.
