6 Test hundreds. Of the 5 we can measure, 1 were tons of consequence. The other 1 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) | 3 | 1 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 1 | 0 |
| Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan) | 2 | 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.
Every hundred
162 v England, Brisbane, 1982 · Won
A ton of consequence: rescued the innings. His side trailed by 219 when his innings began. He made 48% of the team's 341. The match was won by 7 wickets. Also one of the 100 best Test batting performances in Wisden's 2001 list.
179 v Pakistan, Adelaide, 1983 · Drawn
A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
141 v Sri Lanka, Kandy, 1983 · Won
Not enough match data yet to say.
173 v West Indies, Sydney, 1984 · Won
A good ton. A dead rubber, and his side had already lost the series.
118 v India, Durban, 1992 · Drawn
A good ton. He made 46% of the team's 254. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.
105 v England, Lord's, 1994 · Won
A good ton. He made 29% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
