5 batsmen with the most number of ducks in Test cricket

There is one record that nobody wants to have in Test cricket- that of scoring the maximum number of ducks. Choosing the best batsmen in the history of Test cricket is difficult as there are so many parameters to look at - average, most number of runs, number of hundreds, strike rate and so on. But to choose some of the worst batsmen in Test cricket, one criterion you need to refer to is the most number of ducks scored by a player.

Let's see the list of 5 batsmen who have this not so great distinction of scoring the maximum number of ducks in their Test career.


#1 Courtney Walsh

Arguably one of the worst batsmen in the history of Test cricket, Courtney Walsh has the distinction of scoring the maximum number of ducks.

Watching Walsh bat was baffling at times, as he had his own unique style of playing a cricket ball, defying all the batting techniques.

Walsh scored 43 ducks in 185 innings of 132 Test matches. He scored a duck in every 4.3 innings.
