McSweeney will captain Australia A against India A on Thursday in Mackay with quality runs behind him already this summer. "I am probably McSweeney. I have seen a bit more of him of late. I haven't seen enough of Sam. There is a theory with Sam that he gets beaten on the inside a bit and plays away from his body, and I have seen that, but I still think he is a very fine player.
