		Posted: Sunday January 02, 2000 12:09 PM SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) -- Indian batsman Ajit Agarkar claimed an unwanted place in cricket history Sunday when he registered his fourth consecutive golden duck on the opening day of the third and final test against Australia.
		Agarkar, who had already been dismissed first ball in each of his three previous innings on India's tour of Australia, made the familiar walk back to the dressing shed after his fourth first-ball duck at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday.
		Brett Lee, who also dismissed Agarkar first ball in the second test in Melbourne, sent him packing again with an outswinging yorker that clipped the bottom of Agarkar's bat and flew straight to Mark Waugh at second slip.

		For over five years and 17 Tests, Ajit Agarkar has been Indian cricket's 'nearly' man. He's a cricketer of unquestioned talent, worrying fitness, and frustrating inconsistency.
		Great bowlers are notoriously parsimonious when it comes to giving batsmen free hits; an over from Agarkar can resemble nothing so much as a lavish buffet, with an unplayable delivery followed by a juicy half-volley, a cleverly-concealed slower one giving way to a gift-wrapped full toss.
		Despite the surprising pace he generates from his lean frame; despite the fact that he is perhaps India's foremost exponent of reverse swing -- a fact that his skipper is yet to fully exploit -- he has been overtaken by relative newcomers Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra.

		Asked for his comments, Pandurang Salgaonkar, a fast bowler who was part of the unofficial India team in the 70s, said Agarkar had been ineffective in England because he had been hitting the deck too hard.
