Aussies just escape from the World’s lowest ever total in test cricket

Aussies hurt in Australia v South Africa test
Fight between the equally talented Cricket teams Australia and South Africa ended in an enormous victory for the South Africans. Aussies were completely slammed by the tremendous bowling power of the opposite side. This was the third lowest total (47 – all out) for which the team has been totally bowled out in the history of Australian test series played so far. The previous lowest totals were 44 against England in the year 1896 and 36 versus England again in the year 1902.
 
Australian collapse was never been expected since it was very strong by a lead of 188 runs at the end of the first innings. But, the second innings was a totally different story; the extraordinary bowlers of the South African team turned the scorecard to 21 for 9 in no time. The last pair Peter Siddle and Nathan Lyon rescued the team from being bowled out before 26, the lowest of totals in the World Test series (by New Zealand v England in 1955). 

 
The third umpire was also very busy since he has to make nine reviews, as twenty three wickets fell for a score of 294 on the same day. The captain of the Aussi team is still very confident that they will express their extraordinary bowling and batting talents in the next series to regain their position. 

 
Will the Australian Kangaroo revive from the wound and jump well in the next series?
