A lot is talked about Australia seam bowling attack. But the question is do Australia go for Cummins, Starc, Hazelwood, and Pattinson? Or do they opt for Zampa in place of Cummins or Pattinson? Does John Hastings get a game.

Which bowling line up would you go with? Discuss

Cummins
Starc
Hazlewood
Zampa

The attack that they played against us was their best one
 
Strac, Josh & Zampa to start every match - next one is a toss. I'll pick Cummins, if he is fit, but Pattinson comes with a tail-end batting depth.
 
Fantastic bowling combination. Aussies are well ahead of everyone else in the bowling department.
 
Starc
Hastings
Zampa
Hazlewood

Head/Maxwell/Henriques/Smith to bowl the other 10.
 
Starc, Hazelwood and Zampa will definitely play. Cummins will be the fourth bowler and might be swapped by Hastings in one or two. Don't see Pattinson getting a game unless they decide to rest one of their spearheads which seems unlikely given the itinerary. Henriques should get the nod ahead of Stoinis and will share the fifth bowler duties with Maxwell and Head.
 
Starc
Hazlewood
Pattinson
Cummins

If the pitch is really dry, they might give Zampa a chance(ahead of Cummins), otherwise an all-pace attack and Maxwell as the spinner.

Pattinson will be their all-rounding with Stoinis. I just cannot see Pattinson not being in the side. As good a bowler as any and apparently, Australia's best all-rounder by a mile if you consider Sheffield Shield and County performances. Will be tough for Zampa to get a game
 
Even though I've always dreamed of watching Starc, Pattinson, Cummins and Hazlewood play together, I can assure you they will go for plenty of runs. They're express fast, very tall and can bowl good line and length but I think slower bowlers who can seam it more will be successful in the CT, which is why I think Rumman Raees would've been a good option for Pakistan. OZ's need to play Zampa every match.
 
The best bowling line-up in the World. They've inched ahead of SA after Steyn's injuries and decline.
 
For me this should be their attack
Cummins
Starc
Pattinson
Zampa
Though I think Hazlewood will play instead of pattinson!
