10 biggest innings defeats in Test cricket

#6 West Indies vs New Zealand at Wellington (13-15 February 1995)

Margin: Innings and 322 runs

Lara was one of the three West Indian centurions in this match

West Indies feature once again and like in the previous scenario shamed the home team into an embarrassing defeat in front of their own fans. The match in question happened in 1995 with the visitors the undoubted favourites going into the series.

After the first match of the Two-Test series ended in a draw, the West Indies were determined to force a result in the match and thereby the series and had no hesitation in batting first after winning the toss. Brian Lara, Jimmy Adams and Junior Murray all scored centuries as the visitors piled on 660 runs in the first innings for the loss of just five wickets.

The New Zealand side had no answers to the fearsome bowling attack led by Courtney Walsh and Curtly Ambrose as their first innings folded up for 216 and they could only muster 122 runs in the second innings after being asked to follow-on.
