10 biggest innings defeats in Test cricket

#7 West Indies vs Bangladesh at Dhaka (8-10 January 2002)

Margin: Innings & 310 runs

Lawson picked up six wickets giving away only three runs during the Bangladesh second innings

Bangladesh were still relatively new to Test cricket in 2002 and was still awaiting their first victory in the longer format of the game when the West Indies side led by Ridley Jacobs came visiting for a two-match Test series.

Featuring an all-pace bowling attack, the visitors ran through the Bangladeshi batting line-up dismissing them for a lowly score of 139 in the first innings. The batsmen too enjoyed a good time with as many as five batsmen scoring 50+ as the visitors responded with a mammoth total of 536.

Jermaine Lawson’s devastating spell of bowling which saw him pick up six wickets conceding only three runs meant the home crowd were left embarrassed with their team getting bundled out for just 87, thus giving the visitors a victory by an innings and 310 runs.
