I don't think Smith opening is a good idea not even Travis Head
Better to have Bancroft in so that Australia has a left right combination. Bancroft has done well in county cricket and deserves his chance. If Smith and Warner can play, so can Bancroft or if not him then Renshaw.
Moreover, if you want to sacrifice a wicket to slot Smith in middle order, open with Alex Carey
