Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2786160, member: 8423"] Yeah I think Khawaja was just forgotten in the heat of the moment. Even so, we are looking for: [SIZE=4][FONT=arial] 1. 2. Warner 3. Khawaja 4. Smith 5. 6. 7. 8. Starc 9. 10. Hazlewood 11. This is also very interesting from the ABC website: '[COLOR=#56606B]ABC Grandstand's statistical guru Ric Finlay ran the numbers on quick losses of four wickets or more, dating back to 2013.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][COLOR=#56606B][FONT=Interval Sans Pro][SIZE=4][FONT=arial]In its last three Tests, Australia lost 10-83 here at Hobart, 10-86 in Perth, and 10-83 again at Colombo.

Five Test defeats in a row.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#56606B][FONT=Interval Sans Pro][SIZE=4][FONT=arial]Cast our minds back further and there's the procession of 10-56 at Trent Bridge in last year's Ashes, or Port Elizabeth in 2014 when all 10 went down in the space of 90 runs.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#56606B][FONT=Interval Sans Pro][SIZE=4][FONT=arial]In the 2013 Ashes, Australia lost all 10 for 86 on the way to being pumped at Lord's, then 10-115 in Durham to give up a run chase that was well in hand and concede the Ashes.
