I'm watching Chris Martin bowling to get his 200th wicket today, and they keep talking about his woeful batting.

Is his the worst average (batting) 104 runs at 2.47 in Test history (qualify with say 25 Tests)?

Or is there a bigger bunny out there?

[brod]

Chris Martin is really in a league of his own.

61 Tests
89 Innings
46 NO (Helps the ave a bit )
109 Runs
12* HS
2.53 Ave
29 Ducks (in 43 completed innings )

There are 58 players who have batted 30 times in test cricket and have an average of less than 10 and Chris Martin leads this list
The only seven players to average under 5
2.53 CS Martin NZ
3.68 Majural Islam Bang (81 runs)
3.81 Maninder Singh India (99 runs)

4.61 D Doshi India (129 runs)
