← Tons of Consequence

Rick McCosker

4 Test hundreds. Of the 3 we can measure, 0 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

HundredsTons of consequence
Top tier (England, Australia, India)20
Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)10
Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan)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.

Every hundred

  1. 127 v England, The Oval, 1975 · Drawn

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

  2. 109* v West Indies, Melbourne, 1976 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  3. 107 v England, Nottingham, 1977 · Lost

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

  4. 105 v Pakistan, Melbourne, 1977 · Won

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