Some games in Cricket history have seen the ball take its toll on the bat

#1 New Zealand (26 VS England at Auckland, 1955)

The scorecard of the match

Opting to bat after winning the toss, New Zealand posted 200 in their 1st innings and the top scorer for them was John Reid with 73.

England responded well and took a lead of 46 runs. Len Hutton scored a half-century for the visitors as England were bowled out for 246.

It was one of the saddest days in the history of New Zealand cricket as the Kiwis were bowled out for 26 in their 2nd innings, the lowest ever Test score by any team till date. Bob Appleyard and Brian Statham picked up 4 and 3 wickets respectively as the Kiwis were left searching for answers. It was undoubtedly a pathetic batting show by the Kiwis and the victory meant England registered a series victory by a 2-0 margin.
