The shortest Test, in terms of balls bowled, that had a definite result came in the final Test of the 1931-32 series at Melbourne, when Australia (153) beat South Africa (36 and 45) by an innings and 72 runs. The whole match lasted little over five hours.

South Africa women took just 4 balls to sweep to a 10-wicket win after Bowling out Bermuda for just 13.

South African bowler Sunette Loubser finished with 6-3, with 10 of Bermuda's 13 runs coming from extras.

South Africa's score of 15 for 0 was also made up of 10 extras--9 wides and a no-ball.

Bermuda's embarrassing defeat will not be recorded in official statistics because they are ranked outside the world's top 10 countries.

The shortest Test match lasted just 75 minutes, after which, in January 1998, a Test match between England and the West Indies was called off due to an unsafe pitch.

In spite of its short length, the game saw Alec Stewart reach the milestone of 20000 first-class runs - a milestone he hit with a knock of 9 not out, which had been standing since he hit 19999 runs four days previously.
