South Africa were all out for 55 on the first morning against India in Cape Town, their lowest total in a Test match in South Africa since the 19th Century, a simple time when even the Zulus could bat better than the current South African team:
That same opening day in Cape Town, India lost 6 wickets for nothing in the span of 11 balls to end their 1st Innings on 153, matching the Test match record of 6 ducks in an innings, as Ravi Shastri could only comment:
"If someone went 'round the corner for a dump, and has come back, India have been bowled out for 153!"
The Adelaide Strikers lost 7 for 16 to end the Big Bash match against the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium that same day (3/153 to 169 all out).... however they more than atoned for it in the rematch on Friday night.
On Friday, Australia lost 5 for 10 to end their 1st Innings against Pakistan at the SCG, marking the first time Australia have trailed after the 1st Innings of a home Test match in some 3 years:
And in reply, Pakistan ended the day by losing 5 wickets for 9 runs to end up 7/68, the last 3 wickets coming in Josh Hazlewood's final over of the day, which would end in a 3-wicket maiden.
JENGA!
