#1 Matthew Hayden v Pakistan (2002)

This is, by far, the most horrendous performance by a team on this list (going by the modern standards of the game). In a game being played in a shade under 50 degrees in the scorching heat of Sharjah, Pakistan put up an utter horror show.
Choosing to bat first, Pakistan were cheaply dismissed for a 59-run team total. Despite the extreme temperatures, Matthew Hayden displayed utmost grit and dedication to register one of the finest tons of his career (119), proving there were no demons in the pitch.
Pakistan, though, sought out for the worse. They were again bundled out for just 53 and consequently broke the record for their lowest team total, twice within the same Test. Aussies wrapped up the game under two days, utterly humiliating Pakistan in the process.
