Most runs without a 30 for Willis?
Willis is already covered in Q3. There is only one reason for each player's inclusion.. I am not counting this question of yours.
 

Burpey

Cricketer Of The Year
Just recapping for my own benefit :)

Chauan - worse conversion rate in the history of the game with 16 fifties in tests and not a single hundred
Shane Warne - most runs without a hundred
Waqar - most runs without a 50
Bob Willis - most wickets without a 10 wicket match haul
Maninder - most tests for a career aggregate
Martin - most tests for 50 runs
McMillan - most wickets without a 5 WI

That leaves Ratnayeke, Botham, Hopwood, and Giffen

Let me clarify. It is something different for each individual. To give an example (this is part of the answer)
No 1 on that list, Chetan Chauhan, has the worse conversion rate in the history of the game with 16 fifties in tests and not a single hundred.
Has SJS already answered that one Burkey?

Hi SJS
Is Botham the only english captain to not win a test at home?
Sorry more to the point is botham the most tests as captain without a win?

Is Ratnayeke, Joseph R the slowest bowler to get 50 wickets. ie most tests to take 50 wickets?23 tests ?

Here is what has been guessed with the answers.

  1. Chauhan, Chetandra P S : Worse conversion Rate : 16 50's but mo 100's,
  2. Ratnayeke, Joseph R : Still Open
  3. Botham, Ian T : Worst WIN-Record as captain (in matches where he was the official captain to start with) 12 mattches and no wins.)
  4. McMillan, Brian M : Sorry it was not wickets but maximum balls (6054) without a 5 for in a test innings. I said yes without checking my original papers. :)
  5. Giffen, George : Still Open
  6. Warne, Shane K : Most test runs without a hundred (2767)
  7. Hopwood, John L : Most test overs (77) without a wicket
  8. Martin, Christopher S : Most tests (25) for less than 50 runs (46) He also failed to score a single double digit knock in 25 tests.
  9. Willis, Robert G D : 325 wickets and 16 5 fors without a 10 in a match haul
  10. Waqar Younis : Only player to have scored a 1000 test runs (1010) without a test fifty.
  11. Maninder Singh : Most tests/innings 35 tests (38 innings) without scoring a century (aggregate) :D

SJS never answers my queries :(

Brian McMillan took 75 wkts with a BB of 4/65
Mike Hendrick took 87 with a BB of 4/28

http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/14159.html

Then, shouldn't Hendrick be the holder of that record ?
Sorry my dear. But no I would never do that. I am shifting residence and it is major (and back breaking) job so have been away.

I was wrong to say yes to MacMillan. Since it seemed okay but the qnswer was off. It was not number of wickets but number of balls bowled without a five for. I have atoned for it by providing the answer myself in the previous post.

I have provided the answer on Botham because from a previous question, I know there is a difference of opinion on this.
