Shortest tests of all time

The StatsGuru at Cricinfo tells us that the Harare match is one of the shortest tests of all time, by both time and number of balls bowled. The game only lasted 1011 balls and was over in less than two days. It should be noted that New Zealand's thrashing at the hands of Australia in 1946 (our only test against them until 1973/74) was significantly shorter and our batting in that game was even worse than Zimbabwe's. In our defence however, we did manage to restrict Australia to 199/8.
