Q11 Most minutes at the crease before facing a ball ? NO

Clue - think of the record that any batsman (or even bowler) would hate to have . :D :D Then think what could be even worse than that(ie worst type of this record) !! :D :D

Longest duck (36 balls or 51 mins)? Though a long duck isn't necessarily any worse than a short one; in some circumstances it's better.

Oh well, just following your clues. I know that it's:

1) Something to do with Test ducks. So i looked up all of his Test ducks;
2) The record was achieved against the same opponents. Bangladesh is the only team he's scored more than one duck against;
3) "Clue - think of the record that any batsman (or even bowler) would hate to have . Then think what could be even worse than that(ie worst type of this record) !! " I thought getting more than one duck against the (second) worst Test team in the world is pretty bad. :p

Wrong answer, but you can't fault my logic. :p Seriously though, I've got no idea.

He has five ducks in his test career.

Three of them are royal ducks - out first ball.

Another is vastly better - out second ball.

In the fifth one he must have made some sort of a record for playing 36 balls and still failing to open his account.

Apologies the question was wrong. I thought he had a pair against Bangla - which was why i worded it this way . Didn't check my facts carefully !! :( :(

He only has a golden Duck against Bangla.

When he got the Golden Duck, in the second innings he was nearly run out prior to scoring - which could've become the least balls faced to get a pair (ie 1 ball) - but alas my facts were wrong !!

As punishment for the wrong question , I will post next question-(Facts verified) :D

Question

Adam Gilchrist , Dave Richardson , Bhagwat Chandrasekhar , Ajith Agarkar......among a select group share a record - not very different from the above question . What is the record ? :D

If its any help, may I say that Chandrasekhar was one of the greatest spinners to play Test Cricket, but he has the record of having had more wickets than runs scored in his Test career .(of over 50-60 Tests I think)
