Answer 6

Answer 7

im pretty sure Glenn MacGrath and Shane Warne were always competing to see who could get less ducks. I think they were both in the 30s for getting out on 0

Answer 8

The other answers haven't done proper research (or possibly misread your question) - see my answer below as it appears on Wikipedia etc. You are asking the most in cricket, not the most in ODI or Test I would assume.

"As of 2007, the record for the most ducks in Test cricket is held by West Indies player Courtney Walsh, who was out for nought on 43 occasions,[7] while the overall first-class record is 156, set by Worcestershire and England player Reg Perks"

In brief:

Overall: Reg Perks - 156 (ODI and Test)

So in short if you get more then 156 then congratulations on your "unfortunate" record :p.

Have a look at http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Reco... - this shows you the highest duck records Overall in cricket (ODI and Test) and http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/STATS/TESTS/BA... is Test Match cricket.

Also, 0 not out isn't consider a duck. A duck is actually when you get dismissed.

***EDIT: I still don't understand why some people put thumbs down even though it is a correct answer. Click the links people and have a look at the record books...

Answer 9

walsh and waseem akran

Answer 10

Test cricket - Courtney Walsh - 43 ducks

ODI - Sanath Jayasuriya - 31 ducks

combined ODI/Test - Courtney Walsh - 54

Our friend, Griffware got the stats right about first class, but not the facts. First class cricket is the highest level of domestic cricket  plus test cricket; ODI is not included. Scheduled Duration of a first class cricket match should be three or more days, (regardless of whether it is played or not)

Answer 11

One person got over 100 in his career.

Answer 12

courtney walsh from west indies

Answer 13

KAIF FOR a series full of ducks
