Thanks Bryce, BI's data comes as no surprise , since I tended to answer questions (and then post questions) at a time when the thread was in slight decline from lack of interest !!

Credit's due to BI, Sudeep, Marc, Superking Dave, Jamee 999,Neil , Lucky Eddie along with SJS, Tapioca and many others for keeping this thread going !! And maintaining the interest !! The more people we keep interested in this thread the better !!

We should all try and get this thread to be one of the longest threads on the forum !!

Doesnt mean I havent always checked on this thread... its some thing I always enjoy going through..

Mate Sorry for not crediting you for starting the thread !! You, BI, Marc and Sudeep should be given honorary Cricket Guru Titles IMO. :clapping: :clapping: :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy You for starting it and BI, Sudeep and Marc for keeping it going throughout its tenure and ensuring that the interest in the thread was maintained.

Out of Curiosity I wonder if BI would consider posting details as to who posted the questions (numbers posted by each) on the thread !! It may show some discrepancy !! :) :)

Question
Which batsmen in the history of Test cricket has taken the longest number of innings before his 'Maiden Duck' in Test cricket ? (This guy quite possibly also has the least ducks in his Test career)

Arvinda DeSilva.

Over 10 years after his debut and in his 75th innings in a test match he scored his first duck.

PS The largest career without a single duck is JW Burke of Australia with 44 test innings and no duck. And David Gower is the only test palyer who played over 100 consecutive test inings (119 in which he scored 5046 runs) without a duck.
