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. 156* v England, Johannesburg, 1948 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 293 when his innings began. He made 58% of the team's 270. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  2. 143 v Australia, Durban, 1950 · Lost

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

  3. 236 v England, Leeds, 1951 · 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.
