I mean...Hazlewood, Starc and Cummins are incredible durable and are all a level above Boland and Neser.
Both could have played a few more tests but they're also just incredibly unlucky to have their peaks coincide with one of Australia's great fast bowling trios.
methinks neser just did his hamstring

Bloke has no luck. Massive shame
Odds for a run out first wicket? 
Damn. McSweeney out for 14. Didn't do a lot wrong but it was a good seed and the bowlers had actually tightened up and beat the bat a few times in the preceding couple of overs.

Harris gets a hundred and he is definitely in as he should be if that happens

Where he will get another low score.
There is good reason he continually fails in tests

Maybe....but there is sweet f all doing any better. McSweeney is not an opener so will probably prove that if he is picked as well...just like Smith did.

This match is irrelevant in terms of the opening position, clearly it’s already made with McSweeney getting promoted to opener as a dress rehearsal. He didn’t look out of place as an opener and that’s all that matters for the selectors.
Bancroft and Konstas have been written off, Harris seems the only feasible curve ball they could throw given his close relationship with the Test squad. However, he would have to score 100s in both innings to even get himself into the conversation, which is very unlikely.

No he won’t be, as if people think the decision wasn’t already made after the first Aus A game. It was obvious as soon as they gave him the opening position for this game.

A bigger deal out west.
Nor was Langer, Katich or Khawaja for a while in their career.
If McSweeney is a legit cricketer, he'll find a way.

Harris is a crab, but he'll be opening in the first test.

They probably got an extra over or 2 in, this has been a pretty vociferous shower at my joint.

I'll never agree with this "age profile" idea. You play the best 11 you have in ever match. Anything else is a disservice to the players that work so hard for one of only 11 spots.
And even if you play "development players" from a particular "age profile", you don't do it in a home series against India. This is the series that the development happens in preparation for.
Harris to open, McSweeney to 4, Smith to an overdue retirement.
