← Tons of Consequence

Cyril Washbrook

6 Test hundreds. Of the 5 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.

Who against, and where

HundredsTons of consequence
Top tier (England, Australia, India)20
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)40

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. 112 v Australia, Melbourne, 1947 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 550 when his innings began. He made 1600% of the team's 7. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  2. 195 v South Africa, Johannesburg, 1948 · Drawn

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

  3. 143 v Australia, Leeds, 1948

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  4. 103* v New Zealand, Leeds, 1949 · Drawn

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

  5. 114 v West Indies, Lord's, 1950 · Lost

    A good ton. The team lost the match. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

  6. 102 v West Indies, Nottingham, 1950 · Lost

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