← Tons of Consequence

Martin Crowe

17 Test hundreds. Of the 12 we can measure, 0 were tons of consequence. The other 5 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.

Who against, and where

Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)40
Other (Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and the rest)10

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.
