Derek Randall

7 Test hundreds. Of the 6 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.

Every hundred

  1. 174 v Australia, Melbourne, 1977 · Lost

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

  2. 150 v Australia, Sydney, 1979 · Lost

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  3. 126 v India, Lord's, 1982 · Won

    A good ton. He made 29% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  4. 115 v Australia, W.A.C.A, 1982 · Drawn

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

  5. 105 v Pakistan, Birmingham, 1982 · Won

    A good ton. He made 36% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  6. 164 v New Zealand, Wellington, 1984 · Drawn

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

  7. 104 v New Zealand, Auckland, 1984 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 496 when his innings began. He made 24% of the team's 439. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.
