Australia are five days away from one of their best overseas series wins in more than a decade, with a perfect start to a big year on the road beckoning.
Victory over South Africa in the second Test, starting on Sunday, would make them the first touring side to win there in almost seven years, with a match still to play.
It would also rank as one of Australia's best in the past 12 years, with the 1-0 win in Pakistan across three Tests in 2022 currently topping that list.
