← Tons of Consequence

Daniel Vettori

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

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 Pakistan, Hamilton, 2003 · Drawn

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  2. 127 v Zimbabwe, Harare, 2005 · Away · Won

    A good ton. His side already led by 233 when the innings began. He made 28% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 6 for 233.

  3. 140 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (SSC), 2009 · Away · Lost

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

  4. 134 v Pakistan, Napier, 2009 · At home · Drawn

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

  5. 118 v India, Hamilton, 2009 · At home · Lost

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

  6. 110 v Pakistan, Wellington, 2011 · At home · Drawn

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