Not through lack of trying, some went awfully closeCharles Bannerman scored 165 in the first ever test. This is still the highest score by an Australian on debut. It is also the highest individual share of a completed team innings in Test cricket history.

I don't think anything tops Bradman being stranded on 299*6 players have been left stranded on 99*
Boycott 99* of 215 vs Australia 1979
Waugh 99* of 402 vs England 1995
Pollock 99* of 448 vs Sri Lanka 2002
Hall 99* of 365 vs England 2003
Misbah 99* of 407 vs West Indies 2017
Bairstow 99* of 592 vs Australia 2023
His fault, really - he ran out the #11 (Pud Thurlow, in his only Test - as well as being run out for 0 he didn't take a wicket or a catch).I don't think anything tops Bradman being stranded on 299*
What a Pud.His fault, really - he ran out the #11 (Pud Thurlow, in his only Test - as well as being run out for 0 he didn't take a wicket or a catch).
Don’t be trying to hide that England also has one player, and that Australia is the only country not succumbing to such mediocrity.Countries with the most Number of bowlers averaging over 50 with at least 25 wickets:-
BD-6
SL-3
WI-3
IND-3
PAK-2
ZIM-1
SA-1
NZ-1
While bowlers from other countries were mainly partly part timers, All 6 of the BD bowlers are Frontline bowlers.
Some other bowlers like Ebadot @47.14 and Taskin @45.23 comes close.
Oh I missed one.Don’t be trying to hide that England also has one player, and that Australia is the only country not succumbing to such mediocrity.
How many times have some ATGs gone wicketless?This is the 3rd match in his career that Bumrah has gone wicketless.
The others were the 2021 WTC final and the D/N match in 2021 vs England.
For comparison, both Rabada and Cummins have gone wicketless once.
Rabada in his second match in India way back in 2015 (the match against NZ in 2016 doesn’t count because he didn’t bowl). Cummins against India in Sydney in 2019.
Makes sense though. On turning tracks with 3 quality spinners in the team, Bumrah is not highly unlikely to go wicketless. The WTC final is the exceptionThis is the 3rd match in his career that Bumrah has gone wicketless.
