da bet7： Top Fives: The players with the most consecutive Tests for a team
da dobrowin： ESPNcricinfo staff27-May-2015Alastair Cook Streak: 111*
With AB de Villiers’ run coming to an end, and Brendon McCullum 60 behind the record, Cook is the only current player with a realistic chance of catching Border. Cook has more than 40 Tests to go, but is still only 30 years old, and England play more matches than the average Test nation.•Getty ImagesMark Waugh Streak: 107
Waugh missed only two Tests over the course of his 128-match career. The first was the Perth Test against India in 1992 where Sachin Tendulkar played perhaps his finest Test innings, the other was New Zealand’s famous series-levelling win in 1993.•Carl Fourie/Getty ImagesSunil Gavaskar Streak: 106
With MAK Pataudi injured, Gavaskar was in line to make his captaincy debut during the 1974-75 home series against West Indies. Instead, he fractured a finger during a Ranji game between the first two Tests and missed three matches.•PA PhotosAB de Villiers Streak: 98*
With de Villiers missing the upcoming Bangladesh Tests on paternity leave, he misses the chance to become the first man to play 100 consecutive Tests from debut. He does hold the record for most successive Tests since debut, ahead of Adam Gilchrist (96), Rahul Dravid (93) and McCullum (93*).•Gallo Images
