Cricket: After Australia's first loss to Pakistan at home in 22 years, with Xavier Bartlett admitting losing was unfamiliar and rattling for the Aussies.
Aussies desperate to make up for loss | 02:20Former Test opening batter Ed Cowan believes Australian selectors George Bailey , Andrew McDonald and Tony Dodemaide have made a “guess” by selecting Nathan McSweeney to debut at the top of the order in the first Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Perth.Get your first month for just $1.

Cowan dug deeper into the numbers on the ABC Grandstand Cricket Podcast with Corbin Middlemas, and they do not read favourably on the 25-year-old’s ability to handle the heat early in the innings. He scored 25 first class centuries - including one Test hundred - and earned his chance to don the baggy green through a weight of runs predominantly on tricky, green seamers at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval, and he has accused his former teammate Bailey and the rest of the selection panel of discouraging current openers from doing the same.
McSweeney will become the first Australian batter to make their Test debut since Will Pucovski did so in 2021 - also opening the batting against India - when he steps onto Perth Stadium next week.
