← Tons of Consequence

Mark Waugh

20 Test hundreds. Of the 12 we can measure, 1 were tons of consequence. The other 8 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)70
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)91
Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)40

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. 139* v West Indies, St John's, 1991 · Won
