Cairns (Australia), July 27: Bangladesh captain
Khaled Mahmud has the unenviable record of being among the
most expensive bowlers in Test cricket history after he
failed to take a wicket while conceding 75 runs in the second
Test against Australia here.
He sent down 19 overs without reward as Australia amassed
a first innings 556 for four wickets declared.
That came after seven overs for 25 runs and no
success in the first test in Darwin a week earlier.
In seven tests, he has career figures of 1-406.
Other bowlers who have found the going tough at the top level include:
Rual Lewis (WI) 1-318 in three Tests.
Roger Wijesuriya (SL) 1-294 in four Tests.
John Warr (England) 1-281 in two Tests.
Sunil Gavaskar (India) 1-206 in 125 Tests.
Nirode Chowdury (Ind) 1-205 in two Tests.
Andrew Jones (NZ) 1-194 in 39 Tests.
MERVYN WAITE (AUS) 1-190 in two Tests.
George Headley (WI) 0-230 in 22 Tests. Afp
