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. 174* v England, Wellington, 1984 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 244 when his innings began. He made 32% of the team's 537. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  2. 111* v Pakistan, Dunedin, 1985 · Won

    A ton of consequence: chased it down. His side trailed by 277 when the innings began. He made 40% of the team's 278. The team won by 2 wickets. The series was still to be settled in this Test.

  3. 101* v Australia, Wellington, 1986 · Drawn

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