McSweeney had a hard start in his career: Vaughan suggests alternate batting position

India Today  

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan felt bad for Nathan McSweeney for getting dropped from Australia's Test side.

"I do think that Usman needs runs in the next two games; I don't think he can be anywhere near a shoe-in to go to Sri Lanka and the West Indies if he doesn't score runs in this series, because eventually you have to look to the future," Vaughan continued.
