5 Test hundreds. Of the 5 we can measure, 0 were tons of consequence.
Who against, and where
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 3 | 0 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 2 | 0 |
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
101 v New Zealand, Durban, 1953 · Won
A good ton. He made 23% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
142 v England, Lord's, 1955 · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
100 v England, Durban, 1957 · Drawn
A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
109 v England, Manchester, 1960 · Drawn
A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.
113 v New Zealand, Cape Town, 1962 · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
