Lowest Test innings totals by each of the top 10 team

#6 West Indies (47 vs England at Kingston, 2004)

Steve Harmison bowled with venom

West Indies won the toss and opted to bat and courtesy of a brilliant century by Devon Smith and a fluent 84 by Ryan Hinds West Indies posted a competitive 311 in their 1st innings.

In reply, useful contributions from Mark Butcher, Naseer Hussain and Andrew Flintoff ensured England took a small but crucial 28 runs lead.

What transpired in the 2nd innings of West Indies batting was nothing less than a fairytale. The tall lanky fast bowler Steve Harmison was simply unplayable as he finished with a career-best figures of 7/12. His fiery spell included the wickets of Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul that broke the backbone of West Indies batting.

Mathew Hoggard supported him well and accounted for the most priced wicket in the Windies line-up, Brain Lara. West Indies were unable to recover from the early jolts and were bowled out for their lowest ever Test score of 47.

Chasing a mere 20 runs to win, England completed the victory with utmost ease without losing a wicket. The victory also ensured England took a 1-0 lead in the 4 match series.
