Australia A vs India A (2 "Unofficial Tests")

[Voice of the G]

Very composed knock by McSweeney

Would seem a smart move to try McSweeney as a opener in the remaining Australia A game but the biggest fear is if he fails would this jeopardise his chance of playing 3 or 4 in the 1st test side.

Webster/Inglis for Green.
McSweeney to open.

Everyones happy.

Remember the same situation a couple of years back, had 3-4 openers in a bat off and the one who batted down the order and didn’t have to face the new ball ‘won’ the battle.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Everyones happy.

As long as it’s not Harris again, McSweeney is a better talent

 

[crows dude]

Langer, Khawaja both started as number 3s. Boon started as an opener before going to 3.

Pretty humid outside, it’ll flatten but I might keep swinging

Good wicket fun to watch a bowlers wicket and it puts the test on our bats, no point serving up a road to then have Harris, etc get runs on a pancake

Yup, the top order will need to earn their runs
