Not every cricketer’s career ends on a high note. While their careers in general might have been quite illustrious, certain cricketers have not really had a memorable outing in their final match. On the other hand, there have been quite a few cricketers who have made a notable contribution in their final match.
Some of the cricketers and batters, in particular, which fall in the above bracket are Brendon McCullum (145 and 27 against Australia in 2016) and Alastair Cook (71 and 171 against India in 2018). However, there is also a list of batters who failed to add to the scoreboard in their final matches of their international career.
10 cricketers whose careers ended with a duck in their final match
10. Donald Bradman vs England, 1948
Donald Bradman, arguably one of the greatest batters of the 20th century, was dismissed for a silver duck in his final Test innings. He ended up being bowled off a googly by Eric Hollies. This also meant that the Australian great ended his Test career with an average of 99.94 having scored 6,996 runs in 80 innings.
