battle of the australian batting capitulations (2010s)

I was at the 98 AO game. Was glorious. Test match was over on day one.

Distinctly remember Clarke getting booed to and from the crease by the Melb crowd.

Yeah this pretty much. There isn't great video available of that match to really verify this. But you're right. He does not refer to reverse swing at all with relation to that match.
That he was basically bowling to a club side helped.

100-1 to 160 all out without question qualifies. Was just a shambles with a run out (always a key ingredient) thrown in.

Completely screwing the pooch in all four innings of a match deserves some recognition

1st innings SL 26/5
2nd innings Australia 267/1
3rd innings SL 98/4
4th innings Australia 100/1

Guess which side won this match

Disgusting.

Yeah it is crazy but the gap looks even bigger by using the score when the SL wicket fell but using the score before the wicket was taken against Australia.

Yeah it's like it was exaggerated to make a point or something.

Don't think it's hypocritical to do it either. You've identified the points in each innings where Australia's position is strongest. They didn't have to lose a wicket the ball after.

i'm not even sure I can do this anymore because of Howe's deceitful behaviour
