Most ducks for the ashes: The Ashes is one of the oldest and most exciting test rivalries in the world. In this match played between England and Australia, the batsmen are remembered for their centuries and the bowlers for their deadly bowling. There are some players in whose name there is a record which no player wants to achieve. That is the record of most ‘ducks’.
In the long history of Ashes, there have been many great players whose bat sometimes did not support them and they returned to the pavilion without opening their account. Let’s take a look at those 5 players who hold the record for most ducks in Ashes history.
Sid Gregory (Australia) – 11 ducks
Sid Gregory, who played 52 matches in the Ashes from 1890 to 1912, has the maximum number of 11 ducks in this rivalry. Interestingly, he was also a brilliant batsman and had played an excellent inning of 201 runs. His career average was 25.80, but his bat remained completely silent in some matches.
Glenn McGrath (Australia) – 10 ducks
Glenn McGrath is counted among the most dangerous fast bowlers in the world, but batting was not his strength. In the 30 matches played in the Ashes between 1994 and 2007, he made a record of returning to the pavilion for 0 runs 10 times. However, his bowling won many series for Australia, so this duck record could never tarnish his career.
Shane Warne (Australia) – 10 ducks
Shane Warne is considered the greatest leg spinner in cricket history. However, he was also seen struggling many times while batting. He also has 10 ducks in his name in the Ashes. Despite this, he played a brilliant inning of 90 runs and showed that he can handle the team when needed.
Darren Gough (England) – 9 ducks
England fast bowler Darren Gough played 17 matches in the Ashes between 1994-2001 and he holds the record of being out on zero 9 times. Gough was known for troubling the batsmen with his swing bowling. Therefore, the weakness of his batting never became a big issue for the team.
Dick Lillee (England) – 9 ducks
Wicketkeeper-batsman Dick Lillee, who played between 1896 and 1909, went to the pavilion nine times in 32 matches without scoring a run. Even though he was a reliable player for England, his bat was often silent in the Ashes.
