Some people go all beer goggles when they see a bowler who can unleash the odd unplayable pill, but I'd take a DK Lillee or McGrath over J Thompson, M Starc or S Tait every day, day in and day out.
Part of Warne's success, and the teams success at that time, was due to having Warne and McGrath operating like clockwork at either end.
As good as Starc's good can be, his average and bad is well below par! Starc can bowl 3 unplayable overs than go for a ton for the next 10 overs, and that releases all the pressure! While he gets away with that bowling to the bottom order, it can cost us plenty against the top order, and when he is ordinary it costs the bloke bowling at the other end as well!
