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. 140 v Bangladesh, Colombo (SSC), 2002 · Won

    A good ton. His side already led by 209 when the innings began. He made 53% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  2. 105 v England, Birmingham, 2006 · Away · Lost

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

  3. 138 v England, Colombo (SSC), 2007 · At home · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.

  4. 117 v Bangladesh, Colombo (SSC), 2007 · At home · Won

    A good ton. He came in comfortably, and the team did not depend on him.
