With Mitchell Starc fully recovered and back in Australia's starting XI, the Ashes rivals have opted for contrasting bowling strategies in the final Magellan Ashes Test that begins at the SCG tomorrow.
Starc will replace Jackson Bird in the Australia team after showing he was no longer hampered by the heel bruising that kept him out of the fourth Test in Melbourne last week, as the hosts opted against the inclusion of auxiliary finger spinner Ashton Agar.
While England has also made a solitary change to their line-up for the Ashes finale – allrounder Chris Woakes ruled unavailable due to a slight strain in his left side – they have chosen to punt on spin with uncapped leg-spinner Mason Crane to make his debut.
The disparate selection decisions highlight the absence of form lines on the pitch at the SCG that has not hosted a first-class fixture since last summer and is in the hands of a new curatorial team led by former Adelaide Oval groundsman, Justin Groves.

Feeling bad for Shaun Marsh he didn't got selected for ODI Squad
Shaun Marsh
Marsh was the leading run-scorer in the JLT ODC with 412 runs at 82, which included one century and three fifties in Western Australia’s run to the title. He’s been Australia’s most reliable batsman in the Magellan Ashes but hasn’t been in the ODI side since February last year in New Zealand. At 34, and with Australia’s selectors looking ahead to the World Cup in England and Wales in 17 months’ time, Marsh’s time in the 50-over side might be up, but there is perhaps only one batsman in the country in better form than the left-hander.
