Every hundred

  1. 123 v England, Lord's, 1978 · Lost

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

  2. 122 v England, Auckland, 1978 · Drawn

    A good ton. He made 39% of the team's 315. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  3. 102 v England, Auckland, 1978 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 114 when his innings began. He made 27% of the team's 382. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  4. 114 v Pakistan, Napier, 1979 · Drawn

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

  5. 147 v West Indies, Christchurch, 1980 · Drawn

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

  6. 137* v India, Wellington, 1981 · Won

    A good ton. He made 37% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
