← Tons of Consequence

Patsy Hendren

7 Test hundreds. Of the 4 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

HundredsTons of consequence
Top tier (England, Australia, India)30
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)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. 142 v South Africa, The Oval, 1924 · Drawn

    A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.

  2. 132 v South Africa, Leeds, 1924 · Won

    A good ton. He made 33% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  3. 127* v Australia, Lord's, 1926 · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.

  4. 169 v Australia, Brisbane, 1928

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  5. 205* v West Indies, Port of Spain, 1930 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  6. 123 v West Indies, Georgetown, 1930 · Lost

    A good ton. The team lost the match. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

  7. 132 v Australia, Manchester, 1934 · Drawn

    Not enough match data yet to say.
