In their pageantry the Australians didn't simply crush groups, they debilitated them, leaving whatever is left of the world to think about whether their tormentors could ever feel what their sides did. The unbelievable happened in Hobart.

The "delicate" tag

This was not just their fifth straight misfortune this season, it was likewise their third straight arrangement misfortune to South Africa at home. The Proteas had gone 2-0 up even in 2008-09, however, what's been disturbing here is that the two annihilations so far have been weakening and have uncovered the delicate underbelly of Australian cricket. At no other time have the men in Baggy Green looked so helpless and in strife on home soil since the time Kim Hughes notoriously separated and quit after an umpteenth drubbing on account of the West Indies in the mid-1980s.

Batting breakdown

On the off chance that the Sri Lanka visit validated their weakness against the turn, the South African quicks have revealed the worn out texture of Australian batting. They lost 16 wickets for single-digit scores without precedent for a long time at Hobart. They lost 10 wickets for 86 at the WACA a week ago after an opening association of 158, were shot out for 85 in the principal innings in Hobart before Tuesday's mortification. Just twice in their last 10 Test innings have they even gone past 300.

 Rocking the bowling alley injured

The Australian cricket group's harm administration, particularly the recuperation part, has been shabby. Pat Cummins' first and final Test so far has been in November 2011 at Johannesburg. A shin push issue sidelined James Pattinson not long ago. Also, there were reports that Mitchell Starc was undercooked in Perth after just as of late having recouped from a leg wound. At that point, they lost Peter Siddle to an erupting of an as of late mended back anxiety break.

Number Shame

7-Number of wins in Steven Smith's initial 11 Tests as skipper, without a solitary misfortune.

4-Number of innings thrashings Australia have endured at home since 2010. They went 17 years without the disgrace before that.
