The following have not yet won a test:

• PAK v RSA
• ZIM v AUS
• ZIM v ENG
• ZIM v RSA
• ZIM v WIN
• ZIM v NZL
• ZIM v SRI
• BAN v anyone but ZIM

There are a few instances of negative NRRD's:

• -21.1 - ENG 404 & 215/3 (47.6) v WIN 526/7 & 92/2 (68.7) - Port-of-Spain 1967-68

SRI-BAN In the second match of the 2001 Asian Test Championship between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, two Lankan batsmen "retired". That means the official score card reads 555/5 dec, while in fact only 3 wickets fell. I count this as 555/3.

(only sporadically added a test since 2009-01-06)
