Matt Renshaw admits frustration as Nathan McSweeney gets nod for Perth Test
Matt Renshaw has admitted that a lot of openers in Australia would have been left frustrated by Nathan McSweeney getting the nod to start the innings in the upcoming Perth Test against India. In the current Sheffield Shield season, McSweeney has been in fine form, amassing 291 runs from four innings at an impressive average of 97, with one century and two half-centuries to his credit. Speaking to AAP, Renshaw, who seemed like a forgotten man in the discussion, said he was happy for McSweeney but felt many of the openers were left hurt by Cricket Australia's call. "We know how tough opening is and the satisfaction of batting for a long period of time is why we do the job, facing the toughest bowlers with a brand new ball at their freshest," said Renshaw.
