battle of the australian batting capitulations (2010s)

[Howe_zat]

Bumping this for my annual Broad's Day celebrations. I see Australia are celebrating the day with the news that they will tour Bangladesh, which should give them a few opportunities to be humiliated with the bat.

How are you celebrating Broad's Day? Thinking of going swinging with a bottle of peroxide.

10 pin bowling

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'll probably take a nice walk

Rewatching highlights and Stokes reeling in the ball from another dimension.

 

[morgieb]

Are Australia touring Asia again this decade? If not we might finally have run out of lolapses.

 

[vic_orthdox]

"Look, our bowlers were fantastic, but we couldn't have won the Ashes without morgieb's mozz three months before the Ashes. Our ability to take 20 wickets was really down to him."

 

[Adders]

Yeah wtf......the very best of those lolapses were not on the sub cont.

 

[Bijed]

Today seems a solid entry

 

[OverratedSanity]

Absolutely. Had the customary runout too.

 

[harsh.ag]

Two run outs. Esp the all important wicket of Lyon the Destroyer.

 

[Spikey]

someone oughta do this battle

 

[Starfighter]

Hold your horses, we've still got a year left, and an Ashes in England. And terribly weak home batting this summer thanks to stupidity. Plenty of time for a few more horror shows yet.

 

[Starfighter]

10/60 vs Pakistan Dubai 2018, 1st innings.

 

[trundler]

10/60 in Dubai is truly horrible and indefensible.

The Porno that Didn't Go to Plan

117/9 to 280 AO - (163/1) - Nottingham 2013 (ENG)

 

[Starfighter]

Leeds 2010 was Pak not Eng and was 88 not 80.

From some of those you're counting I might need to go expand the England thread.

 

[Gnske]

Corrected, it's a tired post in many ways.

 

[stephen]

Wouldn't the porno that didn't go to plan end prematurely?

It's like SNM when the sadist all of a sudden gets pinned by the masochist right as you're about to you know, finish.

 

[vcs]

That Perth 2016 one was particularly egregious. Had a chance to bat a Steyn-less SA out of the game on a pitch with no real demons, having bowled them out for a mediocre score, and made a great start. SA promptly went on to make 500.

Worst of the lot I'd say.
