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
120* v Pakistan, Melbourne, 2009 · At home · Won
A ton of consequence: carried the innings. In at 0 for 0, 196 ahead. He made 53% of the team's 225, and no one else came close. The team won by 170 runs. It was a Boxing Day or New Year Test. The rest of the team added only 105.
126 v India, Mohali, 2010 · Away · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
176 v England, The Oval, 2013 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A dead rubber (the series was already decided) that his side did not win.
103 v England, W.A.C.A, 2013 · At home · Won
A good ton. His side already led by 291 when the innings began. He made 28% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 1 for 157.
