"absolutely everyone will like to bowl like jono and terrorise the poms like he did," said left-arm paceman starc, 27.

"we've got got a few guys who can bowl pretty quick and some properly bouncers."

England could be attempting to retain the ashes in australia for the first time on the grounds that 2010-eleven while the series starts offevolved in brisbane on 23 november.

They will be counting on experienced duo james anderson and stuart extensive to lead their bowling attack, but will now not have the explicit tempo of australia's assault.

"if it is no longer me, you have got pat cummins bowling fast bouncers, you've got josh hazlewood bowling constant line and period, so similar to that attack did while jono took all those wickets, i assume we complement every different actually well," said starc.

"you throw in jackson hen, [Nathan] coulter-nile's bowling well as properly, so 5 definitely appropriate men there, patto [James Pattinson] if he's healthy to go."

Pattinson is a doubt for the primary ashes test in brisbane as he keeps to battle with back issues however starc will return from a foot damage on friday as he turns out for brand new south wales in a domestic restricted-overs suit.
