Batsmen have been Dismissed in the Nineties Most Often in Tests and ODIs?

Indian legendry batsman Sachin Tendulkar leads the way on both these lists. In Tests Sachin has been dismissed in the nineties 10 times, one more than native country man Rahul Dravid and Australian Michael Slater. Rahul Dravid had one further not-out innings in the nineties, so shares the overall record of ten with Tendulkar and Steve Waugh eight dismissals and two not-outs in the nineties. In one-day internationals Sachin Tendulkar was out in the nineties on 17 occasions, and also made 96 not out against Sri Lanka in Cuttack in December 2009. A long way behind come the New Zealander Nathan Astle, Aravinda de Silva of Sri Lanka, and Grant Flower of Zimbabwe, who all had nine innings in the nineties  seven dismissals and two not-outs apiece.
