Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)10

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. 160 v India, Chennai, 1949 · Won

    A good ton. He made 27% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  2. 152 v New Zealand, Auckland, 1952 · Drawn

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

  3. 104 v Australia, Sydney, 1952 · Lost

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

  4. 104* v India, Port of Spain, 1953 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 326 when his innings began. He made 54% of the team's 192. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.
