Every hundred
100 v India, Eden Gardens, 2010 · Away · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
182 v England, Leeds, 2012 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
156 v New Zealand, Wellington, 2012 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
109 v Sri Lanka, Cape Town, 2012 · At home · Won
A good ton. He made 19% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.
106 v New Zealand, Cape Town, 2013 · At home · Won
A ton of consequence: made it count on the day. His side trailed by 45 when his innings began. He made 31% of the team's runs. The match was won by an innings and 27 runs. It was a Boxing Day or New Year Test.
