6 Test hundreds. Of the 3 we can measure, 0 were tons of consequence. The other 3 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.
Who against, and where
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 2 | 0 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 4 | 0 |
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
219 v South Africa, Durban, 1939 · Drawn
A good ton. His side trailed by 695 when his innings began. He made 33% of the team's 654. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.
119 v Australia, Sydney, 1946 · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
191 v South Africa, Manchester, 1947 · Won
Not enough match data yet to say.
189 v South Africa, Lord's, 1947 · Won
A good ton. He made 34% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
111 v Australia, Leeds, 1948
Not enough match data yet to say.
100 v New Zealand, The Oval, 1949 · Drawn
Not enough match data yet to say.
