Australia captain Aaron Finch's struggle with form continued on September 8 (Thursday) as he was dismissed for a two-ball duck.
The Aussie skipper was caught by opposition captain Kane Williamson off Matt Henry's bowling in the second ODI between Australia and New Zealand.
The right-handed batter has been in torrid form with the bat in 2022. He has aggregated just 169 runs in 13 ODIs this year.
After his latest failure, Finch secured an unwanted record. Let's take a look at the Aussie batters who have recorded most ducks in a calendar year in ODIs.
Former wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist recorded four ducks in 24 ODIs in 2005. The southpaw averaged 28.37 with the bat that year.
Former all-rounder Andrew Symonds registered four ducks in 16 ODIs in 2004. He averaged 31.25 in 50-over cricket that year.
Former captain and legendary batter Ricky Ponting recorded four ducks in 23 ODIs in 1996. That year, Ponting averaged 29.86 with the bat.
Ian Healy was dismissed for naught four times in 13 ODIs in 1994. He averaged 14.30 with the bat that year.
Aaron Finch has now registered the most ducks by an Aussie batter in a calendar year in ODIs. In 13 matches in 2022, Finch has recorded five ducks.
