← Tons of Consequence

Seymour Nurse

6 Test hundreds. Of the 4 we can measure, 1 were tons of consequence. The other 2 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.

Who against, and where

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. 201 v Australia, Bridgetown, 1965 · Drawn

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

  2. 137 v England, Leeds, 1966 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  3. 136 v England, Port of Spain, 1968

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  4. 258 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 1969 · Drawn

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

  5. 168 v New Zealand, Auckland, 1969 · Won

    A ton of consequence: chased it down. The team won the match. A hundred in a winning fourth-innings chase.

  6. 137 v Australia, Sydney, 1969 · Lost

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