1. Nazir Ali for scoring a fifty (52) out of a team total of 66 for the touring Indians against Yorkshire in July 1932.
2. Clive Rice for scoring a century (105 not out) out of a total innings score of just 143 _ for Notts against Hampshire July 1981.
3. Graveney for scoring a double century out of an innings score of just 298 - for Glocestershire against Glamorgan August 1956
4. Vijay Hazare for scoring a triple century in a total innings score of just 387 - for The Rest of India against the Hindus in 1943-44
These are the smallest team scores to include a fifty, a century, a double century and a triple century respectively.
Interestingly, Hazare in his triple century, shared a partnership of 300 with his younger brother Vivek Hazare. Vivek contributed JUST 21 RUNS in the partnership. This is a world record too.

Hazare's amazing innings came in the finals of the Pentangular. In the semifinals before this game he had another amazing innings against the Muslims.
Facing a first innings score of 353, The Rest needed to top that score for a first innings lead which would prove decisive since there wasnt enough time for an outright result.
Coming in to bat at 27 for 2, Hazare farmed the innings with only one other batsman crossing 25 and scored 248 and was 7th out at 391. The team collapsed for the addition of another 7 runs but Hazare had done enough for a place in the finals !

Who was having this conversation and who is blank?
"well" I said. "Suppose we are wrecked. What would you do?"
"First", he said. "I'll save Alec then blank, then you".
"Well, but what about the Victorians?" I asked.
"Let 'em drown", he replied. "Let them drown. Do you think I'm going to risk my life for them?"
