Anderson Breaks His Duck

One of Test Crickets few certainties was brought to an end today. As Jimmy Anderson strides out to bat, cricket commentators around the world immediately reach for the stat revealing his ever expanding record of Test innings without a duck.

But, when Ben Hilfenhaus trapped him lbw early this morning, Anderson was out without scoring for the first time in 54 innings - a remarkable record for a man with a Test high score of 34 and an average of 14.20 - and one of Test cricket's greatest anomalies finally came to an end.
