#3 Misbah-ul-Haq (20.4%)

Australia v Pakistan - 1st Test: Day 4

The Pakistani captain has had his trouble scoring hundreds, both in test cricket and ODI cricket. He does not have a century against his name in one-day cricket and in tests, he has an unimpressive conversion rate of 20.4%.

In his career, Misbah has converted only 10 of his 49 fifty-plus scores into the three-figure mark. Misbah's batting position in the Pakistani middle-order was at No.5. He has played 75 tests for Pakistan scoring 5222 runs at an average of 46. It took a long time for Misbah's career to take off and finally in 2007, he became a regular in Pakistan's test team.

One possible reason for his low conversion rate could be batting with the tail. Quite often, Misbah had to hang around with the tail trying to rebuild the innings when the fragile Pakistan batting line-up has collapsed.

Looking back, Misbah would feel he should have scored lot more than 10 test hundreds.
