Twitter reactions to Australia getting rolled for 62 | Twitter reactions to Australia getting bowled out for 62 in final T20I vs Bangladesh
The fifth and final T20I of a horror series for Australia was one for the record books. Australia’s score of 62 is their lowest ever total in all white-ball internationals, surpassing their 79 all-out against England in a T20I in 2005. Also, Shakib Al Hasan became the first men’s cricketer in history to achieve the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in T20Is, as he completely destroyed a hapless Australia lineup with figures of 4/9.
Yes, the pitches were slow and difficult to bat on. However, Australia looked clueless yet again. Instead of using the top hand to manouvere the ball into gaps to pick up important ones and twos, Australia were hell-bent on trying to hit the ball too hard. It worked a treat for the Bangladeshis, who are all smiles courtesy of an incredible 4-1 series win.
Again, the question arises of Australia’s depth. Only once did they cross 120 in the series, with the latest debacle sure to have alarm bells ringing as to the quality of the BBL and players coming through the system. The 4-1 series defeats in West Indies and Bangladesh must be a big wake up call to CA to ensure players in Australia aren’t in for a rude shock when they arrive on the international scene.
Of course, fans on Twitter were all over this. Here are some of the Twitter reactions to Australia’s 62 all-out debacle, as well as Shakib Al Hasan’s achievement.
