SYDNEY : Mitchell Starc wants to be the only Australian fast bowler to play all five Ashes tests after declaring himself fit and raring to go for this week's day-night fifth match in Hobart.
"I hope not, it's a pink ball game," Starc, who has taken 52 in nine day-night tests, told reporters from Hobart on Wednesday."I'm not looking for a break," he added."It's the last test match of the Ashes series and it's the pink ball too. I'd very much like to play. I guess it's in the hands of the selectors but I won't be asking for a rest.
Captain Pat Cummins missed the second test because of COVID-19 protocols, while the third member of Australia's regular pace attack, Josh Hazlewood, has been sidelined since the opener with a side strain. Michael Neser and Jhye Richardson, who bowled with Starc in the first day-night match of the series in Adelaide, are available to replace Boland if he is ruled out.

Rapid testing for Omicron: is a nose swab enough?Some scientists have said people can transmit Omicron when it has infected their throat and saliva but before the virus has reached their noses, so swabbing the nostrils early in the infection will not pick it up. PCR tests of the saliva from 29 people infected with Omicron detected the virus on average three days before nose samples were positive in antigen, or so-called lateral flow, tests. In general, rapid tests have a lower sensitivity than lab-processed PCR tests, meaning they produce more false negatives.
