Sensational Smith, relentless quicks - Australia veterans serve reminder

The fearsome pace quartet and Steve Smith's brilliance serves as a reminder of Australia's quality as the tourists take charge against South Africa.

Steve Smith now has 223 catches in Test cricket, three more than Joe Root in second place for non-wicketkeepers

Australia's modern Test side remain a fascinating one to unpick.

Viewed by many in England as there for the taking in last winter's Ashes despite a 4-1 win, they are also labelled too old by many observers at home.

The victims of recent shock defeats by West Indies and Bangladesh, they are still unbeaten in their past nine Test series.

But while their struggling batting line-up was bailed out by Matt Renshaw across the first two days of the first Test in Durban, they took control over South Africa on day three in an all-too familiar way.
