Hilfenhaus has 99 wickets at the age of 30, whilst Anderson has just short of 300 at the same age. Sorry but unlucky or not I have seen Starc and i believe he will get a bagful more wickets in the future
Hilfenhaus is good in English conditions. A steady, if not spectacular bowler.
I think Pattinson is the shoe in. Siddle is a grafter. Then one of Johnson, Hilfenhaus or Starc.
Starc still has a lot to.learn in the Test environment. I would be tempted to go with Hilfenhaus.
Hilffenhaus didn't start for Australia until he was 26/27 and injury has plagued his career. He's only been playing tests for 3 years.
Siddle and Pattinson have to play, I'd love to see Hilfy or Harris in the team but I think the selectors have forgotten them or think they are too old. Starc is definitely one for the future but he looks somewhat one dimensional in tests. The reason he does so well in limited overs is because he is hard to get away.
Pattinson will be the top bowler for Australia I reckon. Watch out for Pat Cummins, he's got all the right attributes, we'll see how he develops. Starc adds good variety, now all Australia need is a spinner and some batsmen.
