Australia has fielded a Test team made up entirely of players aged 30 or older against South Africa in Durban, making it the oldest Australian side in nearly 100 years.
All 11 players in the Australian lineup are at least 30. It is the first time in the 149-year history of Test cricket that Australia has taken the field without a player under 30, according to Ratopati.
