Scotty is relentlessly accurate, 2.2 rpo in his career to date is as low as it gets, what a great bowler to have in your team.

Boland perpetually looks like he's running out of breath walking back to his mark but the guy keeps chugging on.

Whatever it takes!!!
Its interesting though. I have long felt there are bowlers whose bowling average flatters them coz they are usually used in a run saving role with a ring field with fewer catchers etc I know Cummins has not bowled at his best so far but it is the difference sometimes. Say a Starc bowls with 5 catchers and a 7-2 field but he will still bowl aggressive lines on the stumps and batsmen can flick away easy boundaries 3 or 4 times but then they get out. You will take that.
Its such a team game and it is why it is silly when we make these all time line-ups to not even consider the fact that similar role players playing together may not lead to the same results that their averages, especially, suggest.
Boland has bowled at least 4 to 5 balls that would have been 4s with a more aggressive bowler's field setting. But he is considered as a defensive bowling option and has that field to back it up. The moment you put him with two other Bolands and set an attacking field, bingo he goes for 20 in 4 overs. And that bowling average he has built up so far means nothing in the context of that hypothetical game.
