How the world on Twitter reacted to Australia’s 85 all out
ESPNcricinfo staff12-Nov-2016First, the best reaction to 85 all out.
Let's all calm down! Judge this wicket after SA has batted please! CALM DOWN! EVERYONE!

The performance justified eight exclamation marks.
Australia Bowled out for 85 … !!!!!!!!
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) November 12, 2016
Was it the batting or was it the conditions?
All out for 85 in challenging but not by any means impossible conditions! #AUSvSA

Australia’s innings lasted 197 balls.
Australia's only shorter home Test innings than this in the post-war era was v Marshall/Holding/Garner at the WACA. #AUSvSA

There were references to Trent Bridge 2015.
This Trent Bridge sequel is pretty good, but not quite up to the original. A Back to the Future 2 rather than a Terminator 2. #AUSvSA

Kyle Abbott almost did a Stuart Broad too.
This is all starting to feel very familiar … https://t.co/IbDxrxKtfV #ausvsa pic.twitter.com/yZySbDIOTN

Australia’s captain Steven Smith made 48 not out.
Steve Smith will be really annoyed he was stranded so close to a half century.
— Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber) November 12, 2016
Make that…
Steve Smith 0/48
Rest of Aus 10/37#ausvsa— Ronny Lerner (@RonnyLerner) November 12, 2016
Some began thinking of ways how Australia could bounce back in Hobart.
Australia really need to redefine this Test as a World Cup semi-final ASAP if they want to get back into it. #AUSvSA

While others contemplated the general state of Australian cricket.
And Now 85 all out.
Australia in probably one of their worst phase in their Test history.
Struggling away and even at home.#AusvsSA— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) November 12, 2016
South Africa were superb in the field.
Sub, who is reserve keeper, pulls off direct hit run out, Duminy's screamer, then de Kock's – South Africa fielding brilliant #AUSvSA

A classic catch to finish the Aussie innings #AUSvSA pic.twitter.com/SyfJzVtsEQ

Is it time to press the panic button when it comes to Australian batting?
When the ball doesn't turn, swing or seam AUS batsmen look good #AUSvSA
— Glenn Mitchell (@MitchellGlenn) November 12, 2016
The only batsmen left to pick for the test side is a bunch of guys struggling to average 40 on pancake roads in state cricket.Future is dire
— Rob Moody (@robelinda2) November 12, 2016
With a month at the nets Greg Chappell will bat better than these Australian batsmen Aus 6 down 43 at Hobart !

Perhaps the weather forecast spurred South Africa.
Weather : I'm going to prevent a result in this test match
Proteas: challenge accepted #AUSvSA #ProteaFire
— Proteafire (@Bilal_Hanware92) November 12, 2016
Don’t think this would have been discussed in the South African dressing-room.
Would it have been too arrogant for SA to declare 0/0 in the first inning? I say NO! #ausvsa
— K Hutch (@72nivek) November 12, 2016
Some woke up surprised, some thrilled.
Woke up wondering why SA are batting when they elected to field first…. then I realized it was a #demolition #AUSvSA
— Ahmed Moola (@AhmedMoola1) November 12, 2016
#AUSvSA When you wake up, check @ESPNcricinfo and see Aus were 85 all out!!!
SA now 43/0 in reply. Holy wow!!! pic.twitter.com/h6Rvu3mY6K— Cindy Poluta (@CindyPoluta) November 12, 2016
85 all out.
Sub-100 scores by Australia
1985 – 2009 – 1
2010 – 2016 – 5
Remember when we could play the moving ball? #ausvsa

If you're new to cricket, 85 is a decent score. Not for an entire team of course but an individual. #AUSvSA
