You look at Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Jos Hazlewood, Scott Boland, they're probably the four front runners at this stage, along with Nathan Lyon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"And then you've got Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj. So I think they both match up so closely together, but I'd give Australia just the edge, having probably played more test cricket as a bowling group in the English conditions,\" said Finch to Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia had won the 2023 World Test Championship final after beating India at The Oval under Cummins\u2019 leadership.
