I agree, poor wickets favor consistent bowlers.
The blokes who spray it can still have bad days on poor wickets, and Starc is the prime global candidate for a bowler who can have a bad day on a crap wicket!
Thommo was a classic for this, some days on any wicket including Indian or West Indian roads he was unplayable, but he was just as likely to go at 0/100 on a Gabba green top!
Someone like Siddle or Hazlewood, even Behrendorff could be unplayable on a sticky wicket.
