Would like this but its a T20 record

David Bumble Lloyd took back a Test record yesterday he had previously held, the highest score by a batsman who has no other score over 50. Nair had taken it off him, but his 50 yesterday hands Lloyd's 214 the record back.

Looking at Lloyd's record, it's as if he was determined to get that record: his 15 innings include ones of 49, 48, 46 and 44.

According to Andrew Samson (and I cannot read the entire blog as it's behind a paywall), Root took one of Tendulkar's records in the Oval Test (an unwanted one). Apparently, it was the 113th time he had gone wicketless in an innings when bowling, which has overtaken Sachin's previous number.

There are some interesting names in that list:

Kallis throwing down over a 1,000 wicketless overs to be 3rd overall, only Carl Hooper remotely close to that number.
If Broad, Anderson and Stokes can all have bowled that many wicketless innings, who did take the wickets???
I'm guessing the Waugh backyard was a road!

Anderson and Broad are fairly comfortably top of the "most innings bowled in" list, so it's not surprising they're high in the "most wicketless innings" list as well.
Perhaps surprisingly, if you only look at bowlers with <200 wickets, the "most innings bowled in" list, 5 of the top 6 (Root, Tendulkar, Jayasuriya and both Waughs) have <100 wickets.

I don't think that does surprise me, you can imagine a lot of this is them being given a few before the second new ball, or a couple before lunch etc. It's the Kallis one which stands out, clearly bowled a lot of overs when they were hoping he would pick up wickets.

I wonder if there's a way to break it out through his career, my guess is a lot of those wicketless innings come towards the back end.

Conway, Nicholls, and Ravindra are the first trio of lefthanders to all score 150s in the same test innings. 3rd time overall for 3 150s in an innings
