16 Test hundreds. Of the 12 we can measure, 2 were tons of consequence. The other 4 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.
Who against, and where
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 8 | 2 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 8 | 0 |
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.
