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. 154 v South Africa, Adelaide, 1953 · Drawn

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

  2. 127 v West Indies, Kingston, 1955 · Won

    Not measured. His side won, but we don’t have the score when he came in or where the series stood, so we can’t say whether the hundred was needed. The ball-by-ball record is patchy before 2006.

  3. 110 v West Indies, Port of Spain, 1955 · Drawn

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

  4. 170 v England, Adelaide, 1959 · Won

    Not measured. His side won, but we don’t have the score when he came in or where the series stood, so we can’t say whether the hundred was needed. The ball-by-ball record is patchy before 2006.

  5. 133 v England, Melbourne, 1959 · Won

    Not measured. His side won, but we don’t have the score when he came in or where the series stood, so we can’t say whether the hundred was needed. The ball-by-ball record is patchy before 2006.
