Australia bounced back with 349 in their second innings, but Pakistan chased down the target of 180 with three wickets left.98 v England, Melbourne, 2010Australia were bowled out for less than 100 twice in 2010•Getty ImagesAfter 25 years (1985 to 2009) in which they had been dismissed for less than 100 in a Test innings only once, Australia were bundled out for double-digit totals twice in 2010. The second one came in Melbourne, where they were dismissed for 98 after being put in by England in the Boxing Day Test. James Anderson and Chris Tremlett both took four-fors in England’s win by an innings and 57 runs, which also retained the Ashes.47 v South Africa, Cape Town, 2011

They were shot out for 47, their fourth-lowest and worst since 1902, in 18 overs. Vernon Philander took 5 for 15 on debut; the top-scorer in the innings was No. 11 Nathan Lyon.

It was Australia’s lowest score in England since 1902.85 v South Africa, Hobart, 2016
