← Tons of Consequence

Carl Hooper

13 Test hundreds. Of the 10 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

HundredsTons of consequence
Top tier (England, Australia, India)90
Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)30
Other (Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and the rest)10

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. 100* v India, Eden Gardens, 1987 · Drawn

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  2. 134 v Pakistan, Lahore, 1990 · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.

  3. 111 v England, Lord's, 1991 · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.

  4. 178* v Pakistan, St John's, 1993 · Drawn

    A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  6. 102 v Australia, Brisbane, 1996 · Lost

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

  7. 129 v India, Kingston, 1997 · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
