He already is,in this match.
He is not the one who will take a 5-for often,but can hold stead at one end,whilst MJ or his fellas can scythe into the batting order.
Lets see how he fares this match.

Well will in the final ashes test. Australia is just going through their decline as which is common among top nations when their players age and retire from the game.

Decline? Don't let DownUndah hear you say that. Besides, it's not true. Over the last two years, Australia have won 12 Test matches, three more than any other team, and lost 6. Their win/loss ratio of 2.000 is third to only New Zealand and South Africa over this period. They are also an impressive 7-0 at home over this period.
If you limit the results to just the last 12 month, Australia have 5 wins, tied with England for second most, just one win behind Pakistan. Their overall record is 5 wins, 5 losses, 2 draws - of which 7 of these matches were played away from home, where almost no teams win these days.
The core of Australia's bowling should be around for some time to come (plus they have the likes of Pattinson, Cummins, Coulter-Nile, Fekete and others waiting in the wings) and there is batting help on the way in the form of Cameron Bancroft, Jake Doran, Joe Burns and Usman Khawaja. All teams should be so lucky to be on "the decline" like Australia.

Over the last 12 months Pakistan won 6, lost 2, drawn 2. Away from home they have won 3, lost 1, drawn 1. Their 3 away wins is tied with Australia for most over this period. Pakistan's two away series were against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Pakistan have played 4 series over the last 12 months; They beat Australia 2-0 in UAE, they beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in Sri Lanka, they beat Bangladesh 1-0 in Bangladesh and drew 1-1 with New Zealand in UAE.
