Pink Test: India register lowest ever Test total of 36/9, Shami retired hurt PTI Adelaide: The Indian cricket team Saturday suffered the ignominy of being restricted to its lowest ever total in Test cricket, collapsing to 36/9 in the terminated second innings against Australia on the third morning of the first Day/Night Test here. India’s earlier lowest score was 42 at the Lord’s in 1974 against England, known in Indian cricket parlance as ‘Summer of 42’. To make matters worse, star pacer Mohammed Shami’s series could well be over due to a wrist injury from a short ball from Pat Cummins, which could potentially be a fracture. Shami could not continue and the Indian innings was terminated at 36 for 9 in 21.2 overs.
