good topic Rev..but like age eh! not test cricket.... ::confused::

Did you folks know that most great batsmen fail to score a fifty or hundred in nearly 2 of every 3 innings they bat.

* Sobers failed to score a fifty or hundred in 65 of every 100 test innings he batted.

* Lara failed to score a fifty or hundred in 65 of every 100 test innings he batted.

* Richards failed to score a fifty or hundred in 62 of every 100 test innings he batted.

* Tendulkar failed to score a fifty or hundred in 64 of every 100 test innings he batted.
