#3 Using Mitchell Starc wisely
Starc is not fully fit yet but has been named in the starting XI for the first Test. While he may have bowled a considerable amount in the nets, a proper Test match might cause the injury to resurface. He will need to be managed properly if they need him fit right through the series.
One of the reasons for preferring Siddle over Mennie for Perth must be that Siddle is a work horse capable of running in all day. With Starc's ability to bowl many overs still a question mark due to his injury, the Aussies need someone like Siddle in their line-up.
Starc will be crucial against the likes of Cook and Amla, who have profound weaknesses against the incoming ball, which is Starc's stock ball.
