The skipper admitted to one change in the playing eleven: “(Mitchell) Marshy misses out and Bo (Beau Webster) is debuting. Mitchie obviously hasn’t quite got the runs, or perhaps wickets. So it felt like it was time for a freshen up.”
There was a worry about Mitchell Starc’s fitness in the lead-up to the fifth Test, but Cummins offered a positive update: “He went off for a scan yesterday and got the all-clear to play this match. It’s a big game in the context of the series, World Test Championship too. It’s a home game. So yeah, he was never going to miss.”
