I’d rather be stuck with Burns than Harris. The former is no world beater, the latter has quantifiably negative impacts on teams he plays in. After he dropped Stokes at Headingly then another sitter at the Oval, he basically should have been denied even a grade deal, let alone get a shot at playing for australia again.
If he plays I hope he makes a king pair. Genuinely despise him to that extent.

Probably why Warner has continually plugged for Burns as his partner.

they must be pretty concerned with the quicks workload off a pretty disrupted preparation, though tbf Green warrants selection on batting alone. And let’s be honest, if your A/R is bowling all of six-eight overs a day, it’s literally only 2.5 overs difference in workload for the other quicks anyway.

I think Khawaja, young Shaun Marsh and Mad dog are 3 better options than Harris and Burns. You can tell how little faith pundits have in them when they prefer middle order batsmen to open despite Harris and Burns being the only 2 openers in the squad.
Since they're in the squad I'd go with them and just pray they can somehow flum a few runs. But if you want to fit Green in, not just for his batting but his bowling would be some insurance against Starc's form, Pattinson's lack of matches and Neser's honest triers, then I'd go with Brett Lee and bump Wade up at the top with Harris. I prefer Burns but his level now is so trash its below Harris imo.

Langer has also said Marnus and Smith will be 3 and 4 and that Green will be at 6. So I think both Burns and Harris will play. Either Wade or Head will sit out.Green to make Test debut, fitness pending: Langer | cricket.com.au

I think all that actually suggests Wade will open the batting tbh.

Langer also said separately that wade would be opening.

"National coach Justin Langer has confirmed Cameron Green will make his Test debut against India, if deemed fit to play on Thursday, and has also backed Matthew Wade to open Australia's batting."

I think Wade struggling against Woakes during the first innings of the Birmingham test last year has coloured my perceptions somewhat on his ability to play the swinging ball. However, given the pink ball doesn't swing so much, it might work if we can open our innings in the daytime. I think he actually has the requisite patience from the way he played Wagner, even though the results weren't very pretty.

the CA site this afternoon had Langer uncommitted on who was opening, aside from ruling out Labushagne doing it

Test vice captain Travis Head will not miss out. Will play and will make at least 80 first dig.

Must have been before he spoke to ABC
Unusual circumstances this year but why do the selectors insist upon naming squad for first test so far in advance every season?
Couple of years ago, it was done to coincide with season launch and one of the chosen players was completely out of nick by game time

Langer backs Green to make Test debut, Wade to open batting
National coach Justin Langer has confirmed Cameron Green will make his Test debut against India, if deemed fit to play on Thursday, and has also backed Matthew Wade to open Australia's batting. Key points: - Langer says Wade is well regarded to have the attributes to move up the batting order -...news.google.com
Heard interview and it wasn’t endorsing Wade as an opener
Standard cliches from BNG - hard, fit, never let you down, etc
