battle of the australian batting capitulations (2010s)

[vcs]

Haddin is a numbskull nothin new

TBF he did play a match-winning hand when they chased 300+ in the next game.

This is fantastic.

It occurs to me that I should postpone actually starting this until after the final Sri Lankan test

I'm also considering going to 24, which would possibly led to a triple threat in the final instead of a traditional one on one.

 

[Spikey]

Think the 60 all out wins because it literally lost them the Ashes. The 47 was hilarious but they got what was a good 1-1 draw in the series.

98ao lost us the Ashes too, and that was on the back of a crushing test match victory which led to them regaining a bit of arrogance, whereas the match before 60ao we got rolled cheaply two times

Cardiff 2nd innings 2015 was pretty abject considering everyone knew there was rain around and if Australia had performed with a skerrick of application we could have easily got away with a draw in that match.

You'll have to redo the whole thing in Feb next year anyways

 

[Spikey]

added Adelaide 2010, Mohali 2010, Perth 2013 and the suggestions. Up to 19 and I haven't included anything from India 2013, UAE 2014 and some of the other sub 200s scores. What a world

If anyone was going to play that shot in that situation I'm.....glad it was Haddin.

Live in Cardiff. Was there that day and can confirm it absolutely belted down all day on Sunday as well. Only regret was missing LBWatson and subsequent review due to being in the beer queue.

Would like to nominate the 2nd Innings at Delhi in 2013.
164 all out, of which 50 were scored by Peter Siddle. Jadeja 5 wickets. Glenn Maxwell opening the batting...

Adelaide 2010 was terribad given the conditions. Didn't it start with a lol run out as well?

Oh **** lol I remember that hard. Was doing some temp work with my dad for a couple of weeks, we both agreed before the start of play this was gonna be another draw. Turn on the workplace's TV during my lunch break, find we're down 2/0. On the flattest pitch in Australia (usually). WTF.

Perhaps the Test that made Australian batting capitulations a regularity rather than a relative rarity.

3rd Test: Australia v West Indies at Perth, Dec 16-20, 2009 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo is what you're looking for. So yes.

Off topic but why did Gayle get man of the match and man of the series here?

At Perth it's probably because he was the only one to score a ton and he did it in 70 balls. MOTS it's probably because he also scored 150+ in the previous Test, the only batsman to score 2 or more tons in the series.

Don't remember if there was a huge controversy about it or something, but looking at the series stats though he does seem the most solid option.

 

[Spikey]

carried his bat in Adelaide to get them a draw. in addition, I think that was around the time where Watson and Kat would make 70 to 90 but no-one would ton up

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh didn't clock it was in 70 balls. Still, think Dougie was rough to not get MotM.

 

[Black_Warrior]

I was really hurting after the Edgbaston test. This makes me feel a bit better.

Can we do a Battle of the Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka Test Series Wins in Australia, just for balance?

Can we do a Battle of the Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka Test Series Wins in Australia, just for balance?

Number of tests Pakistan won in Australia: 4
Number of tests Australia won in Pakistan: 3

How's that for balance mate?
