'Openers Around Country Can Only Blame Themselves': Paine Hits Back At Renshaw Over Opening Role Debate
The Sydney Morning Herald: As Nathan McSweeney prepares to step into the coveted role of Australia’s Test opener alongside Usman Khawaja, his selection has stirred both excitement and debate within Australian cricket circles.
Fresh off a gritty century in the Sheffield Shield clash against Tasmania, Matthew Renshaw didn’t mince his words about the implications of McSweeney’s selection.
“I’m really happy for Nathan. I think he’s going to do a terrific job. But for us openers, I think the decision might have hurt a lot of us. We know how tough opening is—the satisfaction of batting for a long period of time, facing the toughest bowlers with a brand-new ball at their freshest. That’s why we do the job," Renshaw was quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald.
