Remaining Not Out In Test Innings

One important quality of a batsman is remaining not out in an innings. It's equivalent to getting out after scoring infinite runs. This is the reason why test batting average is calculated for runs scored in career divided by number of innings played where the batsman was out (i.e. excluded not out innings).So today I while I am watching Sachin and Gambhir batting against South Africa after Sehwag and Dravid got out at 28 for 2 wickets, I am preparing this table. With 2 boundaries in Morkel's over Tendulkar just made sure they crossed half century partnership. I want him to stay not out today to bring India out of this yet another crisis.

Please note the column NO (number of not out innings) and the % (total innings played / number of not out innings * 100).

I am happy to see Tendulkar in the top 5 and not surprised to see Steve Waugh on top. I am surprised to see Gavaskar hardly chipping in the 25th position while Sehwag and Lara are at the bottom of the table. This is one area where Bradman performs average with a 12.5% NO innings (10 out of 80 played).
