Australian Test selection still cloudy

Alex Brown writes in the The Age how Australia’s thinking for the Test squad didn’t get any clearer over the weekend.

Australia's record 196-run defeat by South Africa in Friday's one-day international in Cape Town provided little in the way of encouragement for on-duty selector Andrew Hilditch. And none of the fringe contenders playing Pura Cup has turned in stand-out performances, ensuring a difficult task for the national panel in naming a 14-man squad for the three-Test series against South Africa.
