← Tons of Consequence

Mark Richardson

4 Test hundreds. Of the 3 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

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. 143 v Bangladesh, Hamilton, 2001

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  2. 106 v Pakistan, Hamilton, 2001 · Won

    A ton of consequence: rescued the innings. His side trailed by 104 when the innings began. He made 26% of the team's 407. The team won by an innings and 185 runs. The series was still to be settled in this Test. A slow grind at 38 runs per 100 balls.

  3. 145 v India, Mohali, 2003 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. A slow grind: 35 runs per 100 balls off 410 balls, 100th run off ball 266, batted 1, innings 1. The match was drawn.

  4. 101 v England, Lord's, 2004 · Lost

    A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
