5 famous batsmen who bagged a golden duck on Test debut

#3 – Michael Bevan

Bevan could not quite bring his white-ball potential into the Test arena

A batsman who can stake a genuine claim to being the best ever ODI batsman, Michael Bevan's Test career failed to reach similar heights. In his defense, he played at a time when Australia could field two different sides on the same day and still beat most Test teams.

On a typical slow and low subcontinental surface at the National Stadium in Karachi, Bevan made his Test debut and top-scored in the first innings with a resourceful 82. But, his first-ball duck triggered a major collapse in the second innings as Australia succumbed to 232 all out from 171/2. Propelled by Saeed Anwar's stability and Inzamam-ul-Haq’s heroics, Pakistan eventually romped home by one wicket.
