Past players react after Australia's Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood's spellbinding spells skittled a shellshocked India for their lowest Test total in history, condemning them to a massive defeat.
Any team that is all out for its lowest Test score since the time it started playing cricket, that's never good to see but ... if any other team had been facing that kind of bowling, they would have also got out. Maybe ... for 72 or 80-90." Sunil Gavaskar on Seven.
"With the way India batted and bowled in the first innings, they were in the driver's seat but the Aussies came back really hard ... India was outclassed in the second half." Sachin Tendulkar on Twitter.
"Wait what happened? I just went to play nine holes, came back (and) game over. What a spell by the Australians. Pace matters." Wasim Akram on Twitter.
"I don't believe what I've just witnessed." Mike Hussey on Fox Sports.
"Josh Hazlewood, a very well-deserved five-wicket haul. 5-3 off 4.1 overs, they're the sort of figures you see in the under-12s." Simon Katich on Seven.
"I can't recall a performance like that by the Australians." Damien Fleming on Seven.
"India are going to get hammered in the Test Series." Michael Vaughan on Twitter.
Australian players stunned
Tim Paine's team secured a 1-0 series lead before the dinner break on day three of the pink-ball Test, hauling in a target of 90.
The tourists were out for 36 in their second innings after Mohammed Shami retired hurt, having been struck on his exposed right arm by a brute of a ball from Cummins.
New-look opening pair Joe Burns (51 not out) and Matthew Wade (33) shared a 70-run stand as Australia needed just 21 overs to complete an incredible victory.
Shami was rushed off for scans as captain Virat Kohli prepared to fly out for the birth of his first child.
The visitors resumed at 1-9 on Saturday, leading by 62 runs.
Cummins (4-21) and Hazlewood (5-8) created unmitigated chaos in the ensuing 90 minutes, during which no batsman reached double figures.
"A bit stunned," Hazlewood said.
"I've been in their shoes before in different series.
"Getting bowled out for 36 is going to leave a few headaches.
"Their best batter leaving is going to leave a bit of a hole.
"But they've got plenty of class batters on the sidelines."
Kohli struggled to describe his embarrassment, noting "this is not club-level cricket".
"Literally an hour, you put yourself in a position where it's impossible to win," he said.
"It really hurts."
Nathan Lyon would be forgiven for having flashbacks to the unforgettable Test collapses he was part of in Cape Town (2011) and Trent Bridge (2015), where Australia were all out for 47 and 60 respectively.
The shoe was on the other foot for the offspinner in Adelaide, where he never looked like sneaking an over in as Cummins and Hazlewood celebrated career-defining moments and big milestones.
"It shows the talent we've got with the ball," Paine said.
"It can be an absolute nightmare."
Mayank Agarwal's nine and Hanuma Vihari's eight helped India surpass the 26 that New Zealand mustered in 1955, which remains the lowest score in 150 years of Test cricket.
But Kohli suffered the ignominy of leading the XI that set the bar below the 42 scored at Lord's in 1974, which had been India's lowest score from almost 550 Tests.
Cummins ignited a scarcely-believable collapse of 5-4 when nightwatchman Jasprit Bumrah chipped a catch back to him.
The express paceman had Cheteshwar Pujara out edging, for a duck, while Kohli became his 150th wicket in Test cricket.
Hazlewood was on a hat-trick after removing Wriddhiman Saha and Ravichandran Ashwin, and made Vihari his 200th Test scalp.
"Things can happen quickly in the pink-ball game," Hazlewood said.
"We thrive on those situations when we're a little bit behind and it's up to us to change the momentum."
Wade fell victim to a tidy piece of keeping from Saha, while Marnus Labuschagne gifted Ravichandran Ashwin a wicket, but India's body language throughout the final innings was that of a vanquished side.
