It is hard to compute that a team can bowl out their opposition for 36 in a Test series and still be the one under the pump
In 1887 an England team sailed south to bowl out Australia for 119 and 97 in one Test match, then 84 and 150 in another. A few years later, starting in December 1901, England kept Australia to 168, 172, and 112.
Those were the only years when an Australian team started a home summer without being able to get past 200 in their first three all-out innings. Two occasions, over a century ago. But this season, Australia have sealed a third.
