#3. Shane Warne- Most runs in Tests without scoring a hundred

Second Test: England v Australia
Warne has more than 3000 Test runs but without a hundred

Shane Warne is one of the greatest spinners to have ever played cricket with 708 Test wickets. In addition to being a lethal spinner, Warne was also a pretty handy lower order batsman who could always chip in with crucial runs, especially in Tests.

However, Warnie never managed to score a century in Tests. He did score 12 fifties but never managed to get a century. The closest Warne ever came to hitting a Test hundred was in 2001 against New Zealand at Perth where he scored 99 before being dismissed by Daniel Vettori.

Other notable occasions where Warne could have scored a hundred was his 90 against England at Manchester in 2005 and his scores of 86 against India and Pakistan in 1999. He ended his Test career with 3154 runs, the most without scoring a century. He overtook India’s Chetan Chauhan by 1070 runs.
