Wouldn’t be unprecedented.

The best captain of the last few decades (probably) decided Morne Morkel should do it in his stead when he broke his hand at the SCG 16 years ago.

Only lasted 2 balls, of course, so wasn’t successful.
I'd open with Lyon and ask him to night watchman. Hang around as long as he can.

So, let’s not trust or be able to use either of our selected openers, or the designated number 3 that is essentially an opening position this match, to face the first ball?

I don’t like the modern trend of everybody being scared to face the first ball of the innings. Think the most experienced opener should take the responsibility

Wouldn’t have mattered in this match because Khawaja was out for both innings but remember feeling that McSweeney was really put under the pump by asking him to face first ball

I thought at the end of the first day we're going to be chasing on a flatter day3 pitch.
Should be an easy chase if we don't lose too many tonight.
