Actually it's arguably this bloke:

The great George Headley, no less. He holds the record in tests for the most runs conceded (230) without ever taking a wicket!

interesting that he bowled so much when he never made any inroads

To be fair he's averaging 20 in One Day and has taken 100 FC wickets.. Think you need to look elsewhereLegglancer said:Apparently its this Guy !

But he is mainly a batsman ...hence his bowling is of little consequence ....BoyBrumby said:Actually it's arguably this bloke:

Ted Martin who played for Western australia against Jardine's team and took 6 for 291 in his entire firstclass career was surely the most toothless bowler of all time.
Basically because in 2003 , just before he died at the ripe old age of 101(making him the longest living Aussie cricketer), he did not have a single tooth left in his mouth .

Less effective, yes, but certainly far better than K Eric A Upashantha; his record isn't particularly appalling, but anyone who saw him bowl in 1999 and then, particularly, in 2002, can tell how poor he was... how he got anywhere near Test and ODI cricket is totally beyond me... how he got a single First-Class wicket is equally unfathomable.Neil Pickup said:
