Australian cricket team suffers batting collapse to be all out for just 85 runs against South Africa

Australia has suffered yet another embarrassing batting collapse to be bundled out for 85 runs in the second Test against South Africa in Hobart on Saturday. It was the team's 11th lowest innings total ever and was so bad the 4 for 8 start was the worst start in 80 years, and its fewest runs scored in a home test match since 1984. After a good start in reply, the visitors had problems of their own to be five wickets down for not much more than 150 runs part way through the final session.
