With the Australian coach Justin Langer announcing on Tuesday that James Pattinson will make his return to Test cricket in this weeks 1st Ashes Test and that Pat Cummins is locked in alongside him, that left three fast bowlers to battle for one spot.
Today, news broke that Mitchell Starc will be left out of the side, despite coming off an amazing World Cup that saw him take a series leading and record 27 wickets.
The remaining position in the team will now be down to one of Josh Hazlewood and veteran Peter Siddle. With just one day to go until the first ball of the 2019 Ashes series, we compare all three bowlers and see their records against England, both home and away.
