Who is not on the tour that could make this a 'new' Australian test team?
And I'm not including bench players over in South Africa either.
The current squad:
TEST SQUAD: Steve Smith (c), David Warner (vc), Cameron Bancroft, Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird, Jon Holland, Jhye Richardson.
Jackson Bird is actually back here playing the SS final.
The a prospective squad for the 4th Test only:
Matt Renshaw
Marcus Labuschagne
Joe Burns
Travis Head
Glenn Maxwell
Marcus Stoinis
Callum Ferguson
George Bailey
Aaron Finch
George Bailey
Alex Carey wk
Billy Stanlake
Ashton Agar
Jackson Bird
Chad Sayers
Chris Tremain
It's got a mix of players who might be too young, too raw, too old but give them a shot - a single shot - at giving Australia something to cheer for, to give the South Africans something to admire (or deride as they might want, I don't care what they think TBH).
The one thing we'd know, is they wouldn't bloody cheat. And I'd rather see them lose 2 years straight knowing they were doing the best they could, without sneering, sledging or sinning.
