Zimbabwe took a pounding from South Africa in arguably the most one-sided day in Test history at Newlands today when the tourists were bowled out for just 54 before the home side stormed to 340-3 in reply. It was Zimbabwe’s lowest ever Test score although they managed to avoid breaking the record for the worst ever innings - 26 made by New Zealand against England in 1954-1955.But that was no consolation as they were left hapless by a South African team who reached 340-3 in just 50 overs and smashed numerous records along the way. Zimbabwe’s previous lowest total was 63 against the West Indies in Port of Spain in 1999 was also the lowest total by any side against South Africa. The previous low was 66 by India in Durban in 1996 scoresZimbabwe: 54 (Pollock 3-9, Ntini 3-23, Kallis 4-13) vs South Africa: 340-3 (G Smith 121, A de Villiers 98, J Rudolph batting 49, J Kallis 54).
