An Appropriate Metaphor?

[Buenchico]

Writing before the start of the 4th Test Match, Jim Maxwell wrote (on the Australian Broadcasting Service website): "Australia had a hiccup at Cardiff, a banquet at Lord's, a stomach upset at Edgbaston".

Any suggestions as to the metaphor he might now be considering for the events at Trent Bridge?

[Psybbo]

A wipeout?

[Prudie]

a norovirus?

[DaisyNonna]

Yes, but can't be bothered to spell it

[Svejk]

A fatal relapse.?

[Retrochic]

dysentery?

[DaisyNonna]

Same first letter retro

[Buenchico]

Shouldn't 'dysentery' (or Daisy's alternative) only be used in a situation where a side has plenty of 'runs'?

Good workout for the umpire's arms, today.

IBS - impossible Broad syndrome?

A bridge too far ?

[Buenchico]

Thanks for your further suggestions, folks.

'A bridge too far' might well sum up how the Ozzie press is reporting the match:
