Starc was the right choice for man of the series for me, his bowling particularly early in the series set the tone, Head made a lot of runs and batted well but without Starc I feel the series would have been a lot closer.

Hey Afros, he almost certainly wouldn't have won the award if he'd been rested for the final two tests as recommended by one or two on here.  Wink

This is true and I believe what I said throughout is correct, his form in the first 2 tests combined with his experience meant that the decision to rest or not should have been entirely his.

I have no doubt that Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc would have discussed leading from the front for all 5 tests as soon as Hazlewood and Cummins went down, Neser also deserves a mention as he bowled well, probably even better than Boland, he deserves to play more test cricket but unfortunately a combination of Cummins coming back in and his age means that this series may well be his final act in a brief but brilliant test career.
