Moreso than an utterly out of form and unselectable Joe Burns being selected on the grounds of incumbency?

Bad juju

It would be utterly depressing if Wade, Head, Harris and Burns are considered for future selection. Starc looks to be a fading star. Hopefully Pucasvki's injury issues can be overcome, Green will continue to develop and the powers that be (Langer and co) put aside their attitude towards Usman.

It's sad really.

Megamind growing old with only another bald guy, a balding ginger and a legspinner to fill in.
Green is a failure
Pucovski will never be fit
Wade will have to wait another year for another stint
Khawaja is blacklisted
Neser can't get a game over Mitch "I am so good at taking top order wickets" Starc
Peirson's genius is not being used
Adam Zampa exists
Marcus Stoinis will play test cricket at some point
Warner is over
Paine still has to captain another series
Carey will be the next Peter Nevill
James Pattinson will keep falling from farm machinery
Cummins will break within a year from all the carrying

Enough to make some men die.

I don't actually think Lyon bowled as badly as a series average of 55 suggests tbh.

There were a few drops and a couple of the batsmen got lucky etc, but he was at least quite threatening during large parts of the series. Even when he bowled poorly it wasn't like he was offering up freebies.

Shouldn't be dropped just for the sake of it, but only if Swepson is really that good.

Smith is probably also part his ridiculous peak too. Still going to be a monster but not as unstoppable as 2014-2019

Warner on the downhill slide, Smith also just not as far down yet.

Can you afford 'Loose Cannon' Starc if the batsmen cant make 400 nearly every innings ?

Couldn't be trusted to bowl at the death today.
