Stat Attack – Bowlers Who Have Dismissed Batsmen On Duck On Most Occasions

Chaminda Vaas

Chaminda Vaas-Stephen Fleming (Five ducks) – In 13 years of Fleming’s international career, it can be said the bowler he struggled against the most was Sri Lanka’s Chaminda Vaas. It goes even without saying as and when he faced Vaas in 40 international matches, the New Zealand’s former skipper lost his wicket to him 14-odd times. Not just this as on five different occasions, Fleming failed to score even a single run and was dismissed for a duck. This is enough to tell the mental pressure which he faced while playing against Vaas. Fleming’s special struggle came against him in ODIs cricket as in Test cricket, he batted with an average of 58.30 against Sri Lanka but the same number dropped down to just 18.68 if we talk about the limited-overs format. 

Courtney Walsh bowls.

Courtney Walsh-Ian Healy (Five ducks) – In this case, Ian Healy – former Australia’s wicket-keeper batsman – always struggled to get going against Walsh’s pace. It can be said Healy was Walsh’s bunny as on 17 different occasions, the West Indies legend got the better of him.

Sir Curtly Ambrose

Sir Curtly Ambrose-Mark Waugh (Four ducks) – Sir Curtly Ambrose was a sheer dominant force in his time and one of his all-time favourite victim was none other than Mark Waugh, brother of former Australia’s World Cup winning captain Steve Waugh. Ambrose, who took a total of 630 international wickets, dismissed Waugh 21 times. Mark’s inability to score runs against him can be judged by the fact that four times, he got out on a duck against him.

Sir Curtly Ambrose-Mike Atherton – The former England batsman may have been promoted to captain his team at a young age of 25, but that responsibility could never hide his struggle against Ambrose, who features the second time on this list. 18 times in 35 matches, Ambrose emerged as the winner against Atherton. Out of this, on four different instances, the batsman couldn’t even open his account. He may be one of the best commentators in the world but his struggle against Ambrose is here to stay till the time numbers are alive. 

 Hugh Trumble bowls.

Hugh Trumble-Tom-Hayward (Four ducks) – The rivalry between these two players goes back to 18th century. Hugh Trumpet, former Australian bowler, who ended his career his career with record 929 first-class wickets, troubled Tom Hayward the most as he dismissed him a total of 15 times, which includes Hayward’s four ducks. To take a note, he batted an average of 34.46 in Test cricket and had 481 wickets in the first-class cricket but he never ever seemed to be comfortable against Trumble. Numbers are enough to show his struggle against him.

Glenn Mcgrath in action.

Glenn McGrath-Sherwin Campbell (Four ducks) – Former Australia legend Glen McGrath had a special rivalry with Sherwin Campbell, as dismissed him 14 times out of 28 across all formats. Four ducks highlight the story between these two and the numbers are enough to reflect the effect of McGrath over Campbell.
