“South Africa versus Australia has always been an intense rivalry, because we play cricket quite similar.
“We play hard — and they’re going to come hard at us, and we know that.
“But we also know how to beat them.
“One hundred per cent, Test cricket is still alive. It’s our best format that we’ve been playing right now.
“When you look at South African cricket and all our legends, they’ve all been great Test cricketers.
The world’s best players are Test cricketers, and this series against Pakan has been a wonderful advertisement for Test cricket, especially in South Africa.”
Australia will be playing a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka in February, whereas South Africa does not have any five-day matches scheduled before the final.
