Records | Test matches | Team records | Lowest innings totals | ESPN Cricinfo
Of the ones that I have seen, Australia's performance today must be right up there
It wasn't just the fact Oz mustered 60 in the shortest test first innings on record but also how totally inept was the batting in the face of an attack that literally only bowled 8 deliveries that were going to hit the stumps ( - that also must be a record)
In modern times, I definitely rank it below our 47 at Cape Town (SA had a great attack for those conditions and the pitch was ****) and the Kiwis' 45 (horrible, demoralised batting lineup)
There have also been some terrible batting performances on flat decks (e.g. us at Adelaide in 2010 (?)) but at least somebody stood up in those matches whilst our top scorer was sundries ffs
