Duminy hitting 71 (93) in a a successful ODI chase of 272 - without a single boundary - is the innings that always comes to mind when this is brought up. It was awesome.

Saeed Anwar (62) in 1996 and Mark Greatbatch (68) in 1993 are really surprising entries.

Expected Bevan to be in this list at a few places and vindicated.

Interesting table that - Farokh Engineer and Sir Beefy two of the last men I'd have expected to see in a list of fifties without a boundary

On reaching his hundred against Pakistan at Lahore in November 2000, Graham Thorpe had only hit one boundary. It also contained seven threes, 12 twos and 51 singles. He hit another boundary before being dismissed for 118 from 301 balls.

The highest Test score without a boundary ends up getting filtered out of that list. Boycott hit 77 against Australia without a single boundary - he is credited with a 4 but it was run instead of a boundary.

Amazing! I was ignorant all these years what stats guru can do.
Azharuddin scoring an ODI 50 without a boundary is unbelievable, the ground must have had overgrown grass creating a slow outfield to hit fours.

No surprise Michael Bevan appears 4 times on the ODI list; one of those matches was where he remained not out and Australia failed to chase down a gettable total! As great as he was on many occasions to rescue Australia from hopeless situations, he did have occasions like that where it misfired.
I knew about this because Ian Chappell loves mentioning it on commentary every summer!

Mark Taylor scored a 78 in a ODI in Adelaide in 1992-93 with a solitary boundary; no mean feat considering how short the square boundaries were then and he was batting with the field up in the first 15 overs.
He then scored 81 with a solitary boundary at the MCG in a 1993/94 ODI; to be fair the MCG in this period was one of the toughest places to score boundaries. A massive ground with no ropes, the outfield was slow as treacle and this was before the aggression of the modern batting era.

I have a faint recollection of Paul Hibbert making a ton against the Indian tourists in the late 70s without once reaching the boundary. It was a fc match. MCG.
Yes, exactly 100. Chetan Chauhan scored 157 in the same match with only 2 boundaries.
