99.94 is the Career Test Batting Average of Sir Donald Bradman."The Don" scored 6,996 runs at Test level in 70 innings. In his last ever innings in England, 1948, he was dismissed for an uncharacteristic duck (zero runs), giving him a final batting average of 99.94 runs per innings. Even now this is still the highest ever average at retirement, but he needed only four more runs for an even average of 100!
