Renshaw will open the batting for Queensland against Australia's first-choice bowling attack under the guise of NSW's baggy blue in the Sheffield Shield at Manuka Oval on Friday.

The Queensland batsman admits the heat is on to go big against an attack boasting Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon.

And his former Australian teammates won't be going easy on him in an international shootout reviving memories of Australia v Australia A in tri-series competitions of old.
