Aaron Finch knows more than most about being thrust into open against India but here’s why he’s backing Nathan McSweeney to shine. In the wake of Australia’s ball-tampering scandal, Aaron Finch was parachuted in to open in Test cricket on the back of his white-ball success despite batting in the middle order for Victoria in Shield cricket. Finch battled in his five Tests averaging 27.8 with two 50s before being dropped but says promoting McSweeney is the right call by selectors.
“I’m not too concerned over Marsh and Travis I think the only thing with Mitch will be his bowling and the amount of work he’s been able to put in at training, I think that will be a really important part of Australia’s success.” Finch believes selectors may have missed a trick by not allowing Labuschagne and others to have a hit at Optus during their ODI against Pakistan in Perth which saw a b-string line-up thrashed by eight wickets.
