8 Test hundreds. Of the 5 we can measure, 0 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
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 3 | 0 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 4 | 0 |
| Other (Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and the rest) | 1 | 0 |
| At home | 1 | 0 |
| Away | 1 | 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.
