5 players with the best 50 to 100 conversion rate of all time in Tests

#4 Dean Elgar – 55.56%

Dean Elgar

Dean Elgar first made a mark in the 2006 Under-19 World Cup where he finished as South Africa’s leading the tournament’s 4th highest run-scorer with 246 runs (at an average of 61.50). But it was six years later he made his Test debut at the WACA in Perth in 2012.

He got off to a disastrous start as he recorded a pair. However, soon he turned despair into joy as he scored a very good 103 in his 3rd Test. And he hasn’t looked back since. Following the retirement of Graeme, Elgar took the responsibility at the top of the order for the Proteas.

Elgar has 10 hundreds in 47 Tests where he has scored 2623 runs at an average of almost 47. He has 18 50+ scores out of which he has converted 10 of them into a three-figure score.

In fact, in his last 6 innings, he has scored 3 tons (one against England at The Oval, two against Bangladesh). One of those scores against Bangladesh was 199 which made him join an elite list of batsmen who’ve got out on 199.

Thus, with 10 hundreds out of 18 50+ scores, the gutsy left-handed opener is ranked #4 in the best conversion rate (55.56%).
