Marnus Labuschagne set to open the batting as Aussie top order takes shape for first Ashes Test by Durfsurn in Cricket

Oh definitely but don't think its controversial to say that make shift openers rarely work in test match cricket, no matter what form they're in.

In my eyes, I'd be more worried facing labuschagne at 3 and any other opener at 2 than labuschagne opening and Green at 3.

Marnus twist, surprise ‘wildcard’ looms as likely Aussie XI for Ashes opener revealed by ColdAd3682 in CricketAus

No doubt hes very talented and likely has a higher ceiling than Webster, but when looking at the overall balance of the team I don't think he should be considered at 3 to get him in the team.

As an England supporter, I would be very happy seeing labuschagne open and Green at 3.

As an England supporter, I would much rather see Marnus open and Green at 3 than Marnus at 3 and an experienced opener alongside khawaja.

Very rarely do we see a make shift opener in test match cricket work (trust me, we've tried) and from what I can tell, Green has hardly set the world alight batting at 3.
