It was West Indies in New Zealand in 1979-80, protesting against umpiring decisions, particularly those by Fred Goodall.
Martin Williamson's "Shoulder barges and flying stumps" has a good write up on the series (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/237606.html ) I'll quote from there :
"Nine days later, the teams resumed battle in the second Test at Christchurch, but any hope that the acrimony would be forgotten was dispelled on the third afternoon, and again it was a catch at the wicket which triggered the problems. This time, the batsman was New Zealand's captain, Geoff Howarth, who was on 68 (he went on to get 147), the bowler Joel Garner, and the umpire Fred Goodall.
At the tea break, West Indies were almost apoplectic. Lloyd asked his side what they wanted to do, and the unanimous decision was not to resume. As the umpires and batsmen waited in the middle, a New Zealand board official was told by Lloyd: "They can wait. We won't be joining them."
Howarth returned to the pavilion and talked to Lloyd, apparently assuring him that he would tell his batsmen they had to walk if they knew they had hit the ball. West Indies agreed to resume, some 12 minutes after the scheduled time. But in the first over Holding later recalled that Howarth stood his ground "for yet another clear catch by Murray." The final session was marred by a dreadful over rate, and at one stage Holding bowled four successive bouncers to Howarth.
That night, West Indies packed up their kit and emptied the dressing room. Although the next day was the rest day, they did not anticipate returning and expected to be leaving New Zealand altogether. During a three-hour squad meeting a vote was taken and the majority, including Rodriguez, said they wanted to quit the tour. But when the West Indies board was advised, it made it clear that was not an option. "

Pakistan team did it against the fake and biased umpiring of Daryl Hair who has been removed from elite panel of umpires after found guilty of biased umpiring. Anyway there are still some stupids like "billythen" who think otherwise.
