<P> Sir Donald Bradman holds the record for most world centuries scored in a career without ever being dismissed in the nervous nineties: a total of 29 centuries . Greg Chappell (24 centuries) and Michael Vaughan (18 centuries) have the next best records . </P> <P> While most dedicated batsmen can achieve multiple centuries and potentially dozens of opportunities to score them, for many all - rounders and bowlers, it can be rare for an innings to last long enough to achieve a century because of his team - mates losing their wickets, or for the lower - skilled bowler to be effective enough in his stroke play to come close to a century on many occasions . Shane Warne, who was considered to have a good level of skill as a power - hitting lower - order batsman, played 199 Test innings as a batsman and achieved 12 half - centuries . He was dismissed twice in the 90s, once on 90, and once on 99 . Ashton Agar, playing on debut for Australia against England, came in as the last batsman and compiled the highest ever score for a number 11 batsmen, but fell for 98 with a rash pull shot from a bouncer, after nervously swatting and missing at two previous deliveries . Nervous nineties are also applicable for the batsmen who get dismissed at 190s or the 290s . Steven Smith the Aussie skipper against West Indies in April 2015 and Younus Khan of Pakistan both missed a chance of a double ton (199). Perhaps the most unlucky was former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe who was dismissed for 299 against Sri Lanka in 1991 . </P> <P> In T20 International, Alex Hales got out on 99 . This is the only instance where a batsman had been dismissed on 99 in T20I . However there has been one incident where the batsman was dismissed on 99 . It was Marcus Stoinis for Melbourne Stars against the Brisbane Heat in 2017 - 18 season of the Big Bash League . </P>
