Australia A's Nathan McSweeney has the best match of the four leading contenders to partner Usman Khawaja at the top of the Test order this summer — and he's still going in Mackay.
Nathan McSweeney again the top-scorer in second innings for Australia A against India A in Mackay as contenders vie for Test spotNathan McSweeney again the top-scorer in second innings for Australia A against India A in Mackay as contenders vie for Test spotNathan McSweeney has made 86 runs so far for Australia A against India A in Mackay , and he can build a bigger case for the Australian opening spot on day four.
He slapped Prasidh Krishna for four in his first over at the crease, only five balls after the Indian paceman dismissed Bancroft with a brutal bouncer. Play had been due to continue until 5:30pm AEST but was halted five minutes early through poor light, denying McSweeney the chance to notch his half-century before stumps.
The 19-year-old shouldered arms and watching as Kumar's inswinger forced his off-stump halfway to the wicketkeeper. Just when he and McSweeney looked ready to forge a partnership in the third session, Harris clipped Manav Suthar to the wicketkeeper.
