2nd innings of the 2nd Test v. India even worse than the 1st Test.
Oz lost 8/28 to crash to all out 113 (31.1).

And even in "great" wins, Oz collapse: Oz lost 6/11 in the 1st innings of the 3rd Test.
Brettig:
'... the dizzying loss of 6-11 to end the innings and let India back into the game.
It was reverse swing delivered by the powerful Umesh Yadav that had as much say as the spin of Ravichandran Ashwin in Australia’s hectic loss of morning wickets, including a pair of away fading rockets to take out the off stumps of Mitchell Starc and Todd Murphy.'

"From No. 8 onwards, India's have scored 307 runs at 25.58 in the series compared to Australia's 84 and 4.94."

"Their tail's batting average of 4.94 (per batter, per innings) would need to lift above 5.28 during the final Test in Ahmedabad to avoid becoming the least productive batting series (of at least three Tests) by an Australian lower-order. The record low was set during the 1912 Ashes.
Pat Cummins is the only Australian bowler to have scored more than 10 in an innings with his 33 during the second Test in Delhi.
...
It is not an uncommon problem for teams visiting India in recent years.
Of the last six Test sides to tour the country, only South Africa's tail have averaged more than 11 (in 2019, managing 20.89 per lower-order batter).
But the manner of Australia's collapses have been especially alarming. In Nagpur, they lost their last five first-innings wickets for 15 runs. In Delhi, they lost their last eight second-innings wickets for 28. In Indore, they lost their last six first-innings wickets for 11."

They must be safe from that record now!
Thanks to the dead pitch. But good job, anyway, 'cos only Khawaja and Green did the job above them.

Todd Murphy 41 (61)
