Head made this unwanted record

The unwanted record of playing most innings without scoring a half-century as an Australian opening batsman was held in the name of Adam Gilchrist (13 innings, 2005-08). Now Head has equaled this record of Gilchrist. Let us tell you that the other batsmen in this list are Aaron Finch, Matthew Wade, and Matthew Short. He had scored 50+ runs after a gap of 11-11 innings.
