← Tons of Consequence

Andrew Flintoff

5 Test hundreds. Of the 4 we can measure, 0 were tons of consequence. The other 1 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.

The tiers are a fixed grouping of countries, not a rating on the day. Where it was played is only known for the hundreds we have the match record for.

Every hundred

  1. 137 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2002 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  2. 142 v South Africa, Lord's, 2003 · Lost

    A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

  3. 167 v West Indies, Birmingham, 2004 · At home · Won

    A good ton. His side already led by 210 when the innings began. He made 30% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 4 for 210.

  4. 102* v West Indies, St John's, 2004 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.

  5. 102 v Australia, Nottingham, 2005 · At home · Won

    A good ton. His side already led by 213 when the innings began. He made 21% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 4 for 213.
