I reckon it's a mistake.
(a) He will have pissed the Australians off and thereby increased their sense of team spirit/desire to win
(b) Rather than having 9 overs to bowl at and try and get Warner - Australia's best batsman - out with the new ball in difficult conditions, they gave him the evening off. When he does come in tomorrow he'll be harder to shift
(c) Presumably Warner didn't much care about opening or he'd have been on the pitch as soon as the 9th wicket fell. After all the innings could have ended at any time, anyway.
