What if it's not a collapse so much as an inevitable? NZ and Pakistan the ones scrapping for rights on that surely?This, plus every team thinking they have the "typical" batting collapse trademarked, is so commonly said on this forum, when it happens to every team.
This, tbh.Heaps of teams are bad against the tail tbf. A lot of it is to do with the expectation that a few of your bowlers need to know how to hold a bat these days, so number nines and even number tens are capable of scoring runs.
The days of the phailbunneh are on the way out. Chris Martin's impending retirement or dropping will be a blow to them.
I realise that most teams have problems occasionally, but we have really suffered with an Ashes defeat, losing at home to South Africa and now losing to India. All because we cannot get a number 10 and 11 out.No offence Stephen, but as I've mentioned so many times on this forum, this is an example of people thinking their team is the only one that suffers from some sort of fault/habit that happens to every team.
England fans ALWAYS talk about their inability to get tailenders out.
Plenty of times Indian fans have mentioned it too.
It's not an Australian thing at all.

Exactly.It's an illusion created by the fact that it's happened to Australia at such crucial moments.
Corrin going to all lengths to hold the Ashes past January.Because Australia are ****ing **** and should be stripped of Test status
