Was this the quickest innings ever?

Was NZ's 'efforts' the quickest time it took for a side to be dismissed?

no...I think there was a match in the 1800s that got over very quickly.....that probably has the record

Some general searching gives me this 1st Test: England v South Africa at Birmingham, Jun 14-17, 1924 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

That was the only ever time no one got double figures in the innings, but I reckon there have probably been shorter innings.

That innings of 12.3 overs is the shortest in all Tests I believe. I can find only four others, including today's, that didn't complete 20 overs.

Here's a list that could potentially end the thread:

Perhaps unsurprisingly it was the only f-c match that Dera Ismail Khan ever played. And none of the players in that side ever played another match - perhaps they were put off for life. I did read a good match report a few years ago, I can't remember where though. I'm surprised it hasn't featured in Cricinfo's 'Rewind' series.

Yes, there are a few with four and five ball overs which lasted less than the equivalent of 20 six ball overs. The lowest Test total is quite a long way down that list though!

It's also the lowest run rate in a completed innings, and the only one under 1.

Yes, and then some. I like the fact that Railways used different bowlers in each innings and still shot them out for next to nothing!

Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

Was that Dera Ismail Khan last and only FC game? None of that side played another FC game according to Cricinfo.
