HOBART: Australia coach Darren Lehmann said his team would have to improve their fragile batting against the swinging ball after reaching another crisis against South Africa in the second Test in Hobart on Saturday.
Australia suffered another one of their abject batting collapses in succumbing to the Proteas for just 85 off 32.5 overs, their lowest total at home against South Africa.
The tourists reached stumps at 171 for five and a lead of 86 runs after the first day.
The clatter of wickets again revived painful memories of recent catastrophic batting collapses which have plagued the team under Lehmann’s reign as coach.
