Neither Morris or Abbott are swing bowlers and Morris was putrid in the first game probably do him good to not bowl while the field is up

Think you're criminally overrating the ability to swing the ball. That alone isn't enough to justify opening the bowling. Ryan Duffield could swing the ball both ways.
Green has an ODI bowling average of 40. He's yet to prove he's a quality short format bowler. I'm fine with him being bowled more but there's much better options to open the bowling.
Australia love to do this. Anytime they're not playing the 'big three' and other bowlers get an opportunity, they often open up with an all-rounder (Stoinis usually) to "try something". I'd be pretty frustrated as a reserve quick.

He barely gets a chance to bowl where he should be in ODI’s and that’s early on. He shouldn’t be a middle order bowler.
Thats because they keep drop catches of his bowling all the time...
nah he has proven he is a quality allrounder and his economy rate in the short form is fine
but I do agree he should not be opening the bowling

It’s clear that most dismissals won’t need to be reviewed.
It won’t cause any more undue delays than reviewing already does.

Which is because there's better opening bowlers. I'll be stunned if we see him open in any meaningful ODIs in the near future which will prove the move to open with him here was completely pointless.
He won't but I can understand the experiment in a dead rubber....so thats fine for me and they did use Hardie to open the bowling in the 2nd dig...for the swing and he did okay
as a 2nd change yes I can see him doing that well in the future ..when he first started for WA batting at 8 ..he came on as a 2nd change bowler...so he has never opened the bowling before

Better than opening with Abbott or Morris who should be nowhere near the side as bowlers. Abbott maybe but Bartlett is better
Absolute screamer
Morris would be happy with that
Didn't take you long.
