Marnus Labuschagne's tortured tour of South Africa means the question is no longer whether the former world No.1-ranked batter will be dropped from Australia's Test team, but, rather 'will he ever return?'.
Labuschagne's first-over failure was one of several low points in Australia's 176-run series-deciding loss in Cape Town on Sunday, as the tourists were all out for 111.
Brought to the crease after just three balls, he attempted to hit his first from Kagiso Rabada through the legside and had a leading edge through the gully for four, before leaving the next outside off.
