Opportunity knocks for unproven McSweeney against India

Hindustan Times  

By Ian Ransom Opportunity knocks for unproven McSweeney against India MELBOURNE, - Where David Warner launched himself into Australia's test team with a barrage of power hitting in limited overs cricket, Nathan McSweeney has followed a more conventional path in succeeding the retired opener. Not unlike his overall first class batting record, McSweeney's Shield debut in 2018 was solid but unspectacular, with 42 runs scored against a modest Tasmania attack. "Being an opening batter, it’s making sure I'm leaving the ball well and making sure the bowlers are bowling to me," McSweeney told Australian radio station SEN on Tuesday. McSweeney's career has similarly been a slow-burn and marked by struggle for a regular spot in a Queensland team featuring Khawaja and Labuschagne along with test batters Joe Burns and Matt Renshaw.
