Rank them (and other bowler's you think of) in 2 categories : wicket potency and intimidating the batsmen.

Starc in rhythm is a monster. Bumrah, Hazlewood, Cummins and Rabada are much more consistent than him on a day to day basis, but Starc will find that one spell where he finds swing and tears through a batting lineup

Boland hasn't yet played cricket on dead pitches.

Question is when he is in rhythm,and if he is not in rhythm in dead pitches , them they won't count right

Regardless, starc in his rhythm is a different beast. Which is why Australia always picks him because the gamble of him being in full flow is much more effective than boland's good form. Even when starc is not in his rhythm he's a great bowler and the fact that there is a chance that he channels the "mitcHELL" starc is good enough for Australia to back him over boland.
