Warner, with a twist to the analysis, suggested that both Head and Constance opening together could be an interesting option. “To me, it’s because they play their game and what they have to do and that’s basically instinct.” he said. “I think it’s a good move if they do that (head open). On the other hand, Sam opening the batting wouldn’t be a bad move.
This combination approach could give Australia a dynamic opening partnership that can take on the Sri Lankan bowlers early on.
