Batsmen's With Most Number of Ducks in World Cup History.

Duck Boys In Cricket World Cups:

1.Nathan Astle:

Innings: 22

Ducks: 5

New Zealand's destructive batsmen Astle got the 1996 World Cup going with a century in the opening match, before his form deserted him on cricket's biggest stage. Two blobs sandwiched scores of 1, 2, 6, 1, 4, 4 and 2 over two World Cups. In 2003, he had an unbeaten century against Zimbabwe, but that was promptly followed by two more zeroes in the Super Sixes.

2.Ijaz Ahmed:

Innings: 26

Ducks: 5

Ijaz Ahmed scored five zeroes in four World Cups. The first of those was in perhaps the most significant washed-out ODI of all - against England in 1992, when Pakistan escaped with a point despite being bowled out for 74 and earned a point that helped them make the semi-finals. The last was in another significant game - the defeat in 1999 to Bangladesh, which speeded up their entry into the Test club.

But the strange thing is, Ijaaz has only 9 ducks outside the world cup matches in his 206 innings

3.Kyle McCallan:

Innnings: 8

Ducks: 4

Offspinning allrounder McCallan took 10 wickets at 23.30 to finish as one of Ireland's most effective bowlers in the 2007 World Cup. He was less effective with the bat: starting with two zeroes and finishing with another. McCallan had only five ducks in his three-year ODI career, but four of them came in just over a month in the West Indies.

3.Keith Arthurton:

Innings: 13

Ducks: 4

Whenever the conversation veers to woeful batting performances at the World Cup, West Indian batsman Arthurton's name pops up. His 1996 double dose of a batting average of 0.40 and bowling average of 106.00 will be tough to top.

4.AB de Villiers:

Innings: 15

Ducks: 4

He may well be the world's best all-format batsman, but de Villiers could end up with an unwanted record. His feast-and-famine 2007 World Cup included four zeroes and a couple of masterclasses - an audacious 97 in pursuit of Australia's 377, and a brutal 146 against West Indies. He faced few problems in 2011, though, with two more hundreds, and looked a class apart in the quarter-final before his run-out precipitated another early South Africa exit.

Two more zeroes will take AB de Villiers to the top of the List. You never expect these kind of things from this modern master. Hope ABD will not achieve this feat.

5.Special mention:

The special player to be mentioned in this list is kenya's Shem Ngoche. He registered three ducks in the three balls he faced in his world cup career.
