Stats: Players who have batted on all 5 days of a Test match

Alviro Petersen

There are only 8 players in the history of cricket who have batted on all the five days of a Test match. The latest to do so was South African opener Alviro Petersen, in a match against New Zealand in 2012. It is quite surprising that as many as 8 players have actually managed to do so, as this is a rare feat to achieve given the number of factors that need to go in their way.
