Australia's T20I strengths and weaknesses

Mitchell Starc will be rested in preparation for the test series

Weakness: No 'Elite' Bowler

While Australia's peculiar re-branding in Perth may have suggested the team valued "elite honesty," they do not seem to value elite bowlers in T20 cricket.

This is highlighted by Mitchell Starc, who is unquestionably Australia's best T20 bowler, being rested for the series.

While Australia's bowling options may be varied, they don't have any one player they can turn to in key moments.

Australia would no doubt love someone like Jasprit Bumrah or Bhuvneshwar Kumar to lead the attack, but instead their most experienced bowler, Coulter-Nile, has been bowling first-change.

Furthermore, Adam Zampa, who arguably has the most impressive record of any of the bowlers in Australia's squad, didn't play in the game against South Africa and is still battling to win the selectors faith.

While Australia have talent among their bowlers, it is easy to envisage Finch scratching his head and wondering who to throw the ball to if Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli begin to flourish.
