← Tons of Consequence

Eddie Paynter

4 Test hundreds. Of the 3 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)10
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)30

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. 216* v Australia, Nottingham, 1938 · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn. A draw in which his side was not behind when the innings began, so it was not in danger of losing.

  2. 117 v South Africa, Johannesburg, 1938 · Drawn

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

  3. 100 v South Africa, Johannesburg, 1938

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  4. 243 v South Africa, Durban, 1939 · Won

    A good ton. He made 52% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
