Played most Test matches without ever bowling?

Over ten years, Ian Healy was the pulse of the Australian team. From his shock selection and humbling beginning in Pakistan in 1988-89, he worked and willed himself to become the most successful wicketkeeper of them all.  Ian Healy leads this list. He never turned his arm over during the course of 119. Second is the leading non-wicketkeeper, New Zealand Stephen Fleming of New Zealand, with 111: the only other man to play a century of Tests without ever bowling is Andrew Strauss, who won exactly 100 caps.
