Australia created history in the first Test against South Africa in Durban on Friday by fielding a playing XI consisting entirely of players aged 30 or above. This is the first such instance for Australia in men's Test cricket. Matthew Renshaw is the youngest at 30, while Nathan Lyon is the oldest in the XI at 38.
