Mitchell Starc feels physically ready to play all five Tests this summer, declaring that it will be purely the selectors' call if he misses the finale of the Hobart series.
The selectors and medicos will keep an eye on the Australian's training session on Wednesday night before forming a firm view on what his attack should look like in the final Test.
Scott Boland is in pain from his injury on the SCG pitch, putting the Victorians in danger of missing out on the day-night Test starting Friday.
There is speculation that Starc may be ruled out due to workload concerns, but it will be a bold decision as he is the world's all-time leading wicket-taker in day-night Tests.
When asked whether he has any trouble or not, it completely depends on the selectors.
"I'm not looking for a break. This is the last Test match of the Ashes series at home. It's also a pink ball.
"Feels good. Obviously we have a few days to prepare for the fifth Test.
"Hopefully it's not my turn to rest... I would love to play," he said. I think it is in the hands of the selectors.
"But I will not ask for rest."
With Australia's pace expected to be twisted throughout this summer to ensure the attack is always fresh, the selectors were keen to avoid repeating unflattering scenes during the Gabba's loss to India last year.
England's poor batting, Josh Hazlewood's side strain and Pat Cummins' lapse in Adelaide have allayed those concerns.
But if the selectors opt for an unchanged attack this week, it will mark three consecutive Tests in which the same fast bowlers have put up a stellar performance.
Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser, who were impressed in the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval, should have bowled out Boland and/or Starc.
Starc noted that his talks with selectors George Bailey and Tony Dodemaid this summer were "really smooth and cool".
"There really isn't much to talk about yet. No doubt there will be a little bit of talk over the next few days."
The pink ball magician backs up to Boland.
"He went to the gym yesterday. No doubt he will be in training and bowling," Starc said.
"He is a calm character but quite flexible. There is no doubt that he will be eager to take part in this Test."
Starc has been the most prolific fast bowler this summer, bagging 15 scalps at 26.6, while also excelling with the bat to help Australia take an unassailable 3-0 lead.
But the left-hander posted match figures of 1-124 in the drawn fourth Test, noting that the SCG pitch did not break as much as Australia had hoped for on the fifth day.
"It would have been really nice to take that last wicket but ultimately it was a great game of cricket," the 31-year-old said.
"Different conditions here, different ball."
