Australias coach Darren Lehmann has guaranteed the places of just four members of the Hobart Test XI.On a day South Africa completed a dominant series victory, the Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland and high performance chief Pat Howard joined former players for introspective talks on the state of the team in the Bellerive Oval dressing room.Lehmann, who has been told to reinvent himself by Howard, stated that only the captain Steven Smith, his deputy David Warner and the pacemen Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are safe from the axe ahead of next weeks day-night Test in Adelaide. All members of the team apart from Starc, Hazlewood and the seamer Joe Mennie are to play in the Sheffield Shield round starting on Thursday, in a departure from previous plans.Weve got to stop the rot, weve got to work out what the best XI is, Lehmann said. Guys playing this Test match, some were disappointed in their performances and they get the chance to play the Shield game to put their hand up. I thought Hazlewood was great, Starcs getting back to his best and then youve got Smith and Warner.Outside of that everyones got to make some runs and take some wickets. Its a really important four days of Shield cricket. The lads are really keen to get out of here and get ready to play that game and prepare the best they can. Spots, performances are going to count, but youve got to have an eye to the future as well, its that juggling act.These words mean that numerous medium-term members of the team are under enormous pressure to keep their places, including the spin bowler Nathan Lyon, the most experienced player in the side and the custodian of the team victory song - not sung since February in New Zealand. Adam Voges, who is averaging less than 15 over his past 10 Test innings, and wicketkeeper Peter Nevill also seem to be in the firing line.Like everyone else, down, Lehmann said when asked about Voges mood. Adams been a very good player for us for 20-odd Test matches, end of the day hes got to go back and make runs like everyone else. Wed love someone to stand up and bat big, I think weve had two hundreds in the last five Test matches and they were both in one innings. So we havent had big runs from anyone.Sutherland and Howard flew into Hobart on Tuesday in time to address the team after their innings defeat, the first at home since the summer of 2010-11. Former players Mark Taylor, Ian Healy, Shane Warne, Michael Slater and Tom Moody also spent time with the team. Weve had James and Pat talk to us, and thats about going forward and sticking together, Lehmann said. I know theres a lot of criticism out there and thats deserved because we havent been winning. We have to cop that and live with that. For us its about stopping that, turning it around. Theyre all great kids, great staff members, they work hard. We just havent had results go our way.Young batsmen expected to be considered for selection include the elegant NSW left-hander Kurtis Patterson, the South Australia captain Travis Head, and another Redback in Jake Lehmann - the coachs son. Darren Lehmann indicated he would sit out of any selection discussion involving Jake Lehmann.I dont sit in on anything when they [the selectors] talk about Jake, and I dont know what theyre saying about Jake, Lehmann said. Not involved, and Id be that nervous anyway I probably wouldnt be coach. Id probably just go to the bar.The Test squad will be named on Sunday after the Shield round is complete, meaning the team will assemble in Adelaide on Monday, a day later than previously scheduled.Possible Test squad for Adelaide: Steven Smith (capt), David Warner, Joe Burns, Usman Khawaja, Kurtis Patterson, Callum Ferguson, Matthew Wade, Steve OKeefe, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Jackson Bird, Chadd SayersSuperstar NZ Cheap . -- Ryan Blaney provided more evidence that Penske Racings No. Originals Superstar NZ .

Luan added the second in the 83rd at the Arena Corinthians with a shot from outside the area, keeping alive Brazils hopes of winning the soccer gold medal for the first time.The game, a sort of rematch from the 2014 World Cup quarterfinals, was heated from the start, with hard fouls from both teams. The benches cleared just before halftime after a vicious foul committed by Neymar, who lashed out after being harassed by opponents nearly every time he touched the ball.They really came playing hard, but we were able to overcome the pressure, Brazil forward Luan said. We were able to get the early goal and that helped us come away with a great victory.Brazil will next face Honduras, which reached the Olympic semifinals for the first time by defeating South Korea 1-0 at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.In the other semifinal match, 1996 Olympic champion Nigeria will face Germany, which is playing at the Olympic tournament for the first time since 1988 -- when Jurgen Klinsmann was in the squad.

Brazil eventually lost to Germany 7-1 in the semifinals.Upset with the way the Colombians were playing against him, Neymar went in hard against forward Andres Roa, a tackle that earned him a yellow card and ignited a brawl involving both benches.After the altercation was over, Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir called both captains for a chat, and also talked to both coaches.Neymar is experienced and he did well controlling the game, Luan said. But the whole team deserves credit for being able to keep it together and get the victory. Now we have to focus on the next two games to be able to reach our dream.More than 41,000 fans were on hand at the Arena Corinthians, the stadium which opened the World Cup two years ago.Brazil arrived at the Rio Games heavily favored to win the Olympic gold, which is the only significant trophy it hasnt won in soccer.
