Ashes: Mitchell Johnson wants Starc instead of Cummins for Lord's Test

The slope at the home of cricket -- which drops 2.5 metres across the playing surface -- is the reason behind Johnson's choice of Starc for Pattinson. "It's hard to change a winning side but I'd like to see Starc still come charging in.
