No matter how exciting and prestigious the Ashes battle is, there are some shameful innings recorded in its history. Amidst the fiery innings with the bat, many times such shameful scores were made in the Ashes, which surprised the fans and experts. Interestingly, Australia’s name appears more often than England in the list of these lowest scores. See the full list
Australia limited to 36
The lowest score in Ashes history was made on 29 May 1902 in Birmingham, when the entire Australian team was all out for just 36 runs. This inning, made with a run rate of 1.56 in 23 overs, is still considered the biggest mistake in cricket. Although this match was a draw, this score always became a cause of shame for Australia.
Sydney disaster of 1888
For the second time, Australia’s batting was again embarrassed. On 10 February 1888, the Australian team could score only 42 runs against England in Sydney. Australia lost this match, and this innings remained a big lesson for them for a long time.
Another blow at The Oval in 1896
The third lowest score for Australia was 44 runs, which was recorded against England at The Oval on 10 August 1896. This innings, which collapsed in 26 overs, also took the team on the path of defeat. This shows that bounce and swing in England have always tested the Australian batsmen.
England’s innings of 45 runs
It was not just Australia that crumbled under pressure. On 28 January 1887, the England team also performed shamefully. The entire team scored only 45 runs in Sydney. However, the most surprising thing was that despite this, England won the match. This match was perhaps one of the strangest results in cricket history.
England’s 52-run collapse in 1948
The fifth place in this list is of England’s innings. On 14 August 1948, England’s batting order was scattered like a house of cards at The Oval. The entire team was reduced to just 52 runs. England lost this match, and this score is still counted among their worst Ashes moments.
