Theunis de Bruyn regards playing Test cricket in Australia as "the Holy Grail" for a South African cricketer and his swashbuckling 88 off 86 balls against a Cricket Australia XI showed why he is ready to end a three-year Test exile.
The 30-year-old played the last of his 12 Tests in 2019 but put himself in an excellent position to be selected for the first Test at the Gabba with an aggressive knock at Allan Border Field.
