battle of the australian batting capitulations (2010s)

[Burgey]

This was literally the last 12 months of test cricket for us.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Yeah but luckily we barely had to play any away Tests in that time

We have another to add to the list. 8-43 vs England on 22/8/2019

Not looking so bad now, eh?

Actually the jokes on you as we only lost our last 8 wickets for 47 which is irrefutably better than 8 for 43.

which had more boundaries though?

 

[Starfighter]

We all know the answer to this one.

Delhi 2023 2nd innings is the latest entry, and I reckon it's right up there with anything else apart from Trentbridge 2015/Capetown 2011.

8-28 it is by my count lol

The funny thing is that before this series, it had been quite a long time since there had been a nasty Aussie lolapse. There was that Sri Lanka Test I guess but other than that you probably have to go back to the time when Smith and Warner were banned to find something similar.

Here we've had two utter capitulations, maybe three.

I think this one is even worse as Australia were well in the match. Trent Bridge just never looked likely.

If I was to pick an under-rated one it's Perth 2016.

Makes it worse yea. They were in a really good position and pissed it away. Unlike the others it seemed to be a result of dumb tactics rather than just technique being exposed.

Battle of the good Australian batting performances in tough conditions (2010)

I think most of these ones have involved an aggressive knock from Travis Head, lol

Well yeah. Check thread title - It hasn't been the 2010s for ages.

Australia and England both suffer from letting Ashes performances dictate the merits of the side, and the 2013/14 whitewash probably masked how memetic the Clarke/Johnson era Australian team managed to be even with that performance behind them. The batting since Smith and Khawaja's return and Labuschange coming through, all in 2019 iirc, is a level above.

need a 2020s edition

We've had like five mini ones in the past few test's. If Bumrah get's a pink ball under lights at any point at adelaide where gonna give NZ's record a run for it's money.

Not that we are safe either esp with starc hazlewood and Cummins

Pretty sure we have collapsed the most out of all the top 8 test teams in the post covid period.

True

Can we get a 2020s India collapse thread? 6 for no run vs SA, 36 all out at Adelaide, the recent nz test where henry got 5. There's been some historic ones.
