← Tons of Consequence

John Fulton Reid

6 Test hundreds. Of the 3 we can measure, 1 were tons of consequence. The other 3 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)20
Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)41

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. 123* v India, Christchurch, 1981 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 255 when his innings began. He made 43% of the team's 286. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  2. 180 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (CCC), 1984 · Won

    A ton of consequence: rescued the innings. His side trailed by 256 when the innings began. He made 39% of the team's 459. The team won by an innings and 61 runs. The series was still to be settled in this Test. A slow grind at 40 runs per 100 balls.

  3. 106 v Pakistan, Hyderabad (Sind), 1984

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  4. 158* v Pakistan, Auckland, 1985 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  5. 148 v Pakistan, Wellington, 1985 · Drawn

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

  6. 108 v Australia, Brisbane, 1985 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.
