Mitchell Starc is a must for the pink-ball Test series opener but his form has cast doubt on his summer beyond that, former Australian captain Ian Chappell says.<\/p>\n

Starc conceded 20 runs from his first ODI over against India during this home campaign and has been hammered early in both matches. The left-arm paceman has taken 1-65 (nine overs) and 0-82 (nine overs) in those games<\/a>, showing little confidence.<\/p>\n

Starc is a white-ball superstar, making his ODI struggles a concern for the Test series, given he's usually less bankable with the red ball. Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are rusted-on as Test selections<\/p>\n

"They always seem to find reasons to leave Mitchell Starc out and he's certainly given them a few; and with his form at the moment," Chappell told Wide World of Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"But I would have thought you'd have to pick him in Adelaide because of his swing and the fact that they'll bowl at night. It's going to suit him.<\/p>\n

"I'd certainly be giving him the Adelaide Test but if he continues to bowl like he has i the two one-dayers, if he bowls like that in Adelaide, well then you've got to think about [James] Pattinson coming into the side.<\/p>\n

"It's not a big headache because you're replacing Starc with a pretty decent bowler."<\/p>\n

Chappell has suggested that Australia should play a second spinner<\/a> – leggie Mitchell Swepson – for the fourth Test in Adelaide; which would again put Starc in the gun, should he still be in the side by the final match of the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
