After the announcement of this team, Adam Gilchrist in a discussion with Fox Cricket said- English is in the team as a reserve batsman, which Australia traditionally does not do in home conditions. I think McSweeney will open, but is he sticking to last year’s policy? We want our six best batsmen in Australia to play in the top six. Nathan McSweeney is a good looking player. They see his game being a little more suited to opening batting, while Josh English knows how to attack, so keep him in the top order. This is probably the best way to protect him.
