well apart from some Surrey off spinner whose name I've forgotten taking 376 Australian wickets at 2.67 each I didn't think anything else happened in 56 except Lancashire's famous victory over Leicestershire without losing a wicket

County Championship?

You mean this is not your answer or that this did not happen because it did.
Does this relate to international cricket?

Nothing to do with Lanky or Leicestershire - is it true that you beat them without losing a wicket? I'd never heard that. Much more interesting than my question, but hey.
And nothing to do with Jim Laker except that this occurrence happened in the same Test in which he took 19 wickets.

No - Laker's Test

It's not my answer. I'm not disputing it happened!
Yes - specifically the 1956 Test in which Laker took 19 wickets.

The Australians complained that the pitch was rigged (and still do)?

I doubt that many people at the time. If it happened now, which as I say is extremely unlikely, it would be quite extraordinary and would certainly be noticed.

The batsman (Denis Compton) who top scored in the match only had one kneecap?
zaremba

No - that's bound to happen again. (ps were they forgetting about their watering of their pitch in 1954/55?)

Does it relate to the first five England batsmen being amateurs?
zaremba
Cricketer Of The Year
No. But the question relates to the England batsmen who played in the match (Compton was not one of them).
