← Tons of Consequence

Greg Chappell

24 Test hundreds. Of the 17 we can measure, 4 were tons of consequence. The other 7 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)102
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)81
Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)61

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.
