Said Malcolm Conn & Andrew Wu in today's Sinney Morning Herald on the about
to be announced CA player contracts, "Test captain Pat Cummins is expected
to again top the rankings but there could be movement in the upper echelon
with all-format star Mitchell Starc’s stellar form in the Ashes and the
Pakistan tour providing a strong case for him to rise from fourth to
second."

Factcheck:
1. Starc was dismal in the Arses. Of the nine bowlers used by Oz he
finished eighth in the averages.
2. He bowled one good spell in Pakistan and finished the series with 8
wickets @ 34.2. For comparison, Cummins took 12 @ 22.5.
3. "all-format star" Starc only played in the Tests in Pakistan.

Stellar jernalism.
