Simon Katich warns several Australian players are fighting for their Test careers after disappointing performances against South Africa. Marnus Labuschagne’s 39 and repeated failure to convert starts have drawn criticism, with coach Andrew McDonald expressing frustration. Australia are 156/4, trailing by 170 runs after following on in Gqeberha, as South Africa push for victory in the second Test.
