Five players with most ducks in international cricket

#4. Glenn McGrath - 49 ducks

Glenn McGrath enjoyed a fantastic career with the ball, but the same can't be said about his batting

Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath was a genuine tail-ender. In Test cricket, despite having an illustrious career with the ball, McGrath really struggled with the bat and scored 641 runs in his 124-Test career - averaging just 7.4. It is no surprise to see he has accumulated 35 ducks in his painful tenure in the lower order, which is the third most in the history of Test cricket. McGrath only crossed fifty once in his Test career.

ODIs account for the rest of his ducks (bearing in mind he only played a few T20Is). Indeed, McGrath's ODI batting average is somehow even worse than what it is in Test matches: an average of 3.83 over 250 matches makes for grim reading. During that time he was dismissed 14 times without scoring, giving him a grand total of 49 ducks.
