And someone mentioned Connolly above which also seems to be right.

Nice catch. Connolly passed 100 with an unbeaten 4 in his 31st innings.

It is also worth mentioning that a certain George Bradley Hogg took longer in terms of time than Chris Martin to score his first 100 runs.

by skully Fri 14 Jan 2011, 03:53

OK, still on the uber-sh!t-bat theme, as far as I can tell, there are 6 players who played 25 or more Test innings but did not reach 100 Test runs. Who are the 6?

Maninder Singh who was at least famous for being the last wicket in the Other Tied Test.

Back to prev ? for a moment:

Martin stands out like the Highpoint Tower among that lot, He's quite a reasonable bowler but you wouldn't think 'quite reasonable' would be good enough to carry such an atrocious batting record in many other teams - and he's not exactly Jonty Rhodes in the field either.

How far off the tail of that list was MacDill - even with 40 in one hit (Bixing Day 98)?

MacDill started like a house on fire. His first 7 Test innings were 10, 21, 23*, 10, 20, 0, 43 to pass 100 after only 7 innings.
