5 Test hundreds. Of the 3 we can measure, 0 were tons of consequence. The other 2 are before the ball-by-ball record, so we do not have enough match data yet.

Every hundred

  1. 141 v India, Chennai, 1999 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  2. 107 v West Indies, Sharjah, 2002

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  3. 122 v West Indies, Bridgetown, 2005 · 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.

  4. 156 v India, Faisalabad, 2006 · At home · Drawn

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

  5. 103 v India, Lahore, 2006 · Drawn

    A good ton. Drawn, with Pakistan batting first and declaring at 679 for 7. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't decide the match.
