    "editor1": "The Sydney Morning Herald: As Nathan McSweeney prepares to step into the coveted role of Australia\u2019s Test opener alongside Usman Khawaja, his selection has stirred both excitement and debate within Australian cricket circles.<p>Fresh off a gritty century in the Sheffield Shield clash against Tasmania, Matthew Renshaw didn\u2019t mince his words about the implications of McSweeney\u2019s selection.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really happy for Nathan. I think he\u2019s 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\u2014the satisfaction of batting for a long period of time, facing the toughest bowlers with a brand-new ball at their freshest. That\u2019s why we do the job,\" Renshaw was quoted by The Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It feels like every summer there\u2019s a circus about something, and it\u2019s usually about the openers because Australian cricket always wants another opener,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine weighed in on the debate, suggesting that the openers who missed out on selection had only themselves to blame.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"He\u2019s a lovely man, \u2018Renners,\u2019 and it\u2019s great to see him back in form, but the openers around the country can only blame themselves for Nathan McSweeney being given the opportunity,\u201d Paine said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine weighed in on the debate, suggesting that the openers who missed out on selection had only themselves to blame.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
