Cricket fraternity reacts to Australia's 'unreal' performance
The Aussie pace-bowling duo of Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins ran through the India line-up to restrict them to 36/9 – their lowest innings total in the history of Test cricket – after Mohammad Shami walked back to the pavilion retired hurt.
Australia were set a target of 90 which they chased down in the second session of day three of the Adelaide Test.
Here are some of the social media reactions from the world of cricket featuring special praise for Hazlewood (5/8) and Cummins (4/21).
36?!? Wow! 😳👀

Wow!! What a bowling display that was from Pat Cummins & Josh Hazlewood here in Adelaide. Just outstanding. Have to feel for the Indian batsman as never saw that coming - it was one of those days where the batsman nicked everything & didn’t play and miss at all ! Unbelievable...

One of the greatest hours of fast bowling 🔥#AUSvIND

With the way India batted & bowled in the 1st innings, they were in the driver's seat, but the Aussies came back really hard this morning.

That is the beauty of Test cricket.
It’s NEVER over till it’s over. India was outclassed in the 2nd half. Congratulations to Australia!
Congratulations to Josh Hazelwood on taking 200 Test Wickets. Intelligence combined with pace, bounce, control & consistency. So proud of you mate #fastbowler #FBC #200wickets #ausvind https://t.co/Eq5bqGVeD8

When you thought one end was difficult the other end is getting even more tougher for the bats! Terrific bowling by #hazelwood as well! #AUSvIND
