4 Test greats with the worst 50 to 100 conversion rate

#1 Arjuna Ranatunga (8.7%)

Arjuna Ranatunga brought a revolution into the Sri Lankan cricket after the 1996 World Cup victory. Ranatunga's heroics in the 1996 World Cup aspired many Sri Lankans to take up cricket. However, the former Sri Lankan captain was one of the worst when it came to converting fifties into hundreds.

In his career, Ranatunga has scored 46 fifties and has gone past the three-figure mark only 4 times. Also, all of Ranatunga's 4 centuries came on the home soil which clearly suggests he was not the best overseas batsman around.

Ranatunga has played 93 tests for Sri Lanka scoring 5105 runs at an average of 35. His conversion rate of 8.7% is the worst for any test batsman who has played above 80 test matches and scored 5000 or more runs.
