5 batting greats who had a tough time against unfancied bowlers

2. Allan Border – Carl Hooper

Allan Border was dismissed 10 times by Carl Hooper

One of the all-time Australian batting greats, Border was the first man to cross 11000 runs in Tests and was known to put a heavy price tag on his wicket.

However, Border got out quite often to bowlers who didn’t quite have the reputation as a bowler and they were actually known for their batting exploits.

The West Indies gentle off-break bowler Carl Hooper got the better of Border 10 times(7 times in ODIs and 3 times in Tests) and another name which might just surprise you, is the great Viv Richards, who got Border out 5 times in ODIs and once in Tests.
