The one bad feeling for a batsman in the game is to get out
for a duck. That will bring his confidence down and many not are in good touch.
The record may suit the bowler than a batsman for highest ducks in World Cup
matches. This is opposite to the think of a person who would think that the
record holder would be a bowler rather than a batsman. He is one of the best
batsmen of New Zealand who was once the best placer of One day cricket. Let us
see the list of batsmen who were out for a zero for many a times:
7.
Inzamam-Ul-Haq:
One
of the best players of Pakistan team has played around 35 matches and has
scored 4 half centuries. But the bad record to his name is the number of ducks
in World Cups. He has 4 ducks out of the 33 innings he played for the Pakistan
team.
33 innings – 4 ducks
6. Kris
Srikkanth
The blistering opener of the Indian team has 4 ducks out of
23 innings he played for India. He has contributed many runs in the opening
spot, but also has the record for highest ducks by an Indian in World Cups and 6th
place in the overall list.
23 innings -4 ducks
5.
AB De Villiers:
The South African captain who is in good form in this World
cup has 4 ducks in World Cup’s out of the 17 matches he played. He is leading
the team for the first time in the World cup taking the place of Smith who
captained the South African team in the 2011 World Cup. This may be the one
record he would not link to have under his belt. He is placed 5th in
the list of “Highest Duck in World Cup’s".
17 innings – 4 ducks
4.
Keith Arthurton:
The West Indian who was one of the all-rounder’s of the game
has the record of 4 ducks out of 14 matches he played in the World Cup. He has
picked wickets and also scored half centuries that gave West Indies a good
result. He is in the 4th place for highest Ducks in World Cup.
13 innings – 4 ducks
3.
WK McCallan:
He just played one World Cup for the Ireland team and has
contributed by scoring 4 ducks out of the 9 games he played. He would have
broken other’s record for more duck’s in World Cups if McCallan would have
played the next World cups.
8 innings – 4 ducks
2.
Ijaz Ahmed:
This middle order batsman of Pakistan who had good record
with the bat also has a bad record of 5 ducks out of the 29 matches he
played. He also has opened the innings
for the team with some good knocks helping the team to win. He stays in the
second place for most number of duck record.
26 innings – 5 ducks
1. Nathan
Astle:
The New Zealand all rounder who opened the innings for the
team with some good centuries to his name is in the top spot for most number of
ducks with 5 from 22 innings he played. This is actually a surprising name in
the record list as he is one of the fine all rounder New Zealand has produced.
22 innings – 5 ducks
