Australia batter batsman Marnus Labuschagne has admitted the pitch at The Gabba was not up to the standard for a match in Test cricket after despite the hosts' defeating South Africa in the first Test of the three-game series.

The first Test between Australia and South Africa was over in just two days after 34 wickets fell with the hosts' romping to a six-wicket victory on a green pitch which had the same green colour as the outfield.
