Lowest Test innings totals by each of the top 10 team

#8 Zimbabwe (51 vs New Zealand at Napier, 2012)

Chris Martin and co were at their best and Zimbabwe skittled over

The minnows from Africa went on a tour of New Zealand in a one-off Test match in 2012 and nothing much was expected from Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe won the toss and put the visitors in. It was majestic centuries from Ross Taylor and BJ Watling that propelled the Kiwis to a massive total of 495. Brendon McCullum also chipped in with a useful 82.

The Zimbabwe batsmen were left searching for answers as they were bowled out for only 47 in their 1st innings. Trent Boult, Chris Martin, Doug Bracewell and Tim Southee all picked up 2 wickets as Zimbabwe was bundled out for their lowest Test score.

Following on, Zimbabwe werer again under the pump as Chris Martin’s hostile spell blew away their top order and they ended up getting bowled out for 143. The Kiwis eventually won by an innings and 301 runs.
