Australia's worst Ashes collapses
WWOS staff
Australia have been embarrassed after being bowled out for one of their lowest scores in Ashes history.
Australia were bundled out for a paltry 136 on day one of the Third Test before England finished play just three runs behind with seven wickets still in hand.
The dismal performance ranks amongst Australia's lowest Ashes totals in the last 50 years, but is almost double the total a Bill Lawry-led side managed in 1968…
The 1968 Australians were bundled out for 78 at Lord's in reply to 351.
Spinner Jim Laker took 9/37 as Australia were dismissed for 84 in the Fourth Test in 1956.
Australia were blown away for 98 in barely three hours in Melbourne in 2010.
Spinner Phil Tufnell was the destroyer as Australia fell for 104 in the Sixth Test in 1997.
Australia were skittled for 111 to hand England an impossible win at Headingly in 1981.
England bowled Australia out for just 116 in the first innings in Sydney in 1995.
Australia were out for a miserable 118 in the First Test in 1997.
No celebrations for Australia on Boxing Day in 1986 as Australia collapsed to 141 all out.
