Did you know?

Ross Taylor has never scored a Test duck. The record for a complete career is 45, by Pakistan's Yasir Hameed (he played his last Test to date in 2007, so it's possible he might appear again: if he does, and makes a duck, the record would revert to Australia's Jim Burke, whose career comprised 44 duckless innings). For the full list, click here. The most innings by any player from debut before a duck is 78, by AB de Villiers of South Africa (for a full list, click here)
