Number of 50s in a series without a 100

[Dravid]

So whats the number of the most 50s one batsman has hit in a series including tests and odi without scoring a 100. Tendulkar must be really close to the record. He's having pretty bad luck these days once he goes past his 50

Doubt that'd be easy to find-out TBH.

Its difficult enough by itself to find out of tests and ODI's combined for a series is very tough.

Inzemaam scored five fifties in a triangular series in Australia (also involving Windies) in 2004-5) with consecutive scores of 68, 52no, 50, 30, 29, 74, 51 and 0. In the test series on that tour he played just one game and didn't get into double figures.

I don't know what the record would be but one things for sure Sachin has been really unlucky throughout this series and even in the series in Belfast he has missed out on a lot of centuries.

When it comes to a poor conversion rate, the man who takes the cake in either form of the game is Ranatunga with 95 scores above 50 in both forms of the game he had only 8 centuries (4 each) !

The Test record, iirc, is 6 - shared by Atherton in 1993, Border in 1989 and Hunte in 1964/5

Border hit one fifty in the ODI series, Atherton did not play any ODIs.

David Hookes hit 4 fifties each in the 1982-3 Ashes and the B&H WSC that went with it.

Thatcould be the record for both forms in the same 'series'.
