Rib-tickling tweets on the Australian embarrassment at Trent Bridge
The Australian collapse on the first day of the Trent Bridge Test surprised the cricket world.

The Australian collapse on the first day of the Trent Bridge Test surprised the cricket world. Australians had a gala time till the arrival of the Ashes as they had beaten India Down Under, won the World Cup and humiliated West Indies. They were expected to retain the Urn by winning a series in England after 14-long years. Now that looks unlikely and even a 1-4 defeat is a distinct possibility. While the fall of Michael Clarke’s men like ninepins has shocked many, some Twitteratis saw the humour-side of it. Abhishek Kumar wades through Twitter to pick some of the most hilarious tweets.
