All cricketers want success. In generally, the name of the success is record but is all the records truly expected? In cricket history there had many records which were as painful as burning, sometimes it gives shame. In test cricket history and statistics there is such kinds of unexpected records.
NERVOUS NINETY
One person’s name “ICE MAN” and another person’s name “THE WALL”, if we make a list of hardest nerve cricketer Steve Waugh & Rahul Dravid will stand at the top of the list. But they are the most number of hunters in unlucky ninety. Dravid is still playing perhaps the pain of this record will be only him. There is also a chance for Tendulkar in this record. Tendulkar made a huge number of century so it does not matter for him but think about Michael Slater if he turn his nine innings to a three digit, he could made 23 century in only 74 test series how graceful the record was.
Cricketer | Times | Match (Innings) | Run | 100/50 |
Rahul Dravid | 10 | 125(263) | 12275 | 32/60 |
Steve Waugh | 10 | 168(260) | 10927 | 32/50 |
Michael Slater | 9 | 74(131) | 5312 | 14/21 |
Alvin Kallicharran | 8 | 66(109) | 4399 | 12/21 |
Inzamam-ul-Haq | 8 | 120(200) | 8830 | 25/46 |
8 | 177(290) | 14692 | 51/59 |
MIND IS OPPRESSION IN ZERO
The ability of gaining this record in bating or bowling together is only few. When Courtney Walsh finished his test carrier he carried such kinds of two records. Problem is that, the record in bowling was how much graceful than the record in batting was same quantity of unmemorable record. In one side of his carrier he was taken highest number of wickets in test crickets and in another side of his carrier highest number of zero in batting. Walsh taken retired from cricket ten years ago, in records of wicket was lost by Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble but the record in zero is still now standing. In compulsorily Chris Martin running the force, Walsh can see the dream to lose the record from his hand.

Courtney Walsh | 43 | 132(185) | 936 | 30* |
Glenn McGrath | 35 | 128(138) | 641 | 61 |
Shane Warne | 34 | 145(199) | 3154 | 99 |
