Who against, and where
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 3 | 1 |
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
101 v England, Sydney, 1897 · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
178 v England, Adelaide, 1898 · Won
A good ton. He made 31% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
160 v England, Sydney, 1898 · Won
A ton of consequence: chased it down. His side trailed by 274 when the innings began. He made 58% of the team's 276. The team won by 6 wickets. The series was already won by his side.
