← Tons of Consequence

Frank Woolley

5 Test hundreds. Of the 4 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)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. 133* v Australia, Sydney, 1912 · Won

    A good ton. He made 41% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  2. 115* v South Africa, Johannesburg, 1923 · Drawn

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

  3. 134* v South Africa, Lord's, 1924 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  4. 123 v Australia, Sydney, 1924 · Lost

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

  5. 154 v South Africa, Manchester, 1929 · Won

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