Australia fast bowler Scott Boland said on Wednesday that the hosts will be unfazed by any England aggression when the Ashes rivals clash later this year.

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc produced a devastating opening spell as the West Indies were demolished for 27, the second-lowest score in Test history, to suffer a humiliating 176-run defeat on the third day of the third and final game at Sabina Park on Monday.

Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc produced the most devastating opening spell of bowling in Test cricket, reaching the landmark of 400 wickets on the way, as the West Indies were left in ruins at 22 for six at the end of the first session on the third day of the third and final day/night Test at Sabina Park, Jamaica on Monday.

Only England's Syd Barnes stands above Boland for bowlers since 1900, with the other six bowlers above Boland all hailing from the 1800s, and in the infancy of Test cricket.

Australia quick Scott Boland has admitted he remains in the dark whether he will win a spot in the playing XI for his side's ICC World Test Championship defence against South Africa at Lord's next week.

“It's one thing to have a plan, but then to be able to execute that, the way that we have to Virat, (to) put him under immense pressure," said Australia men’s coach Andrew McDonald.

Australia’s ultra-consistent pacer revealed the measures he has gone to just to ensure he is prepared as best he can to fill in for the injured Josh Hazlewood in Adelaide.

The 35-year-old Boland will play his first Test since last year's Ashes in England when he fronts up for the pink ball match at the Adelaide Oval starting on Friday.

Australia captain Pat Cummins confirmed fellow fast bowler Scott Boland will play the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India beginning at The Oval on Wednesday.

Australian fast bowler Scott Boland said he turned down the opportunity to play county cricket in England so that he would be fresh heading into the World Test Championship (WTC) final and the Ashes.

Australian seamer Scott Boland was Sunday confirmed to start the Boxing Day second Test in Melbourne ahead of an "underdone" Josh Hazlewood, while South Africa suggested they could shake up their batting line up.
