[size=14pt]Did you folks know that most great batsmen fail to score a fifty or hundred in nearly 2 of every 3 innings they bat. [/size]
* 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.
