Every hundred

  1. 141 v Sri Lanka, Pallekele, 2011 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn, against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.

  2. 148 v South Africa, Centurion, 2014 · Away · Won

    A good ton. He made 37% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 2 for 24.

  3. 182 v West Indies, Hobart, 2015 · At home · Won

    A good ton. He came in comfortably, and the team did not depend on him.

  4. 130 v Sri Lanka, Colombo (SSC), 2016 · Away · Lost

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

  5. 126* v England, Adelaide, 2017 · At home · Won

    A good ton. He made 28% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 4 for 161.

  6. 156 v England, Sydney, 2018 · At home · Won

    A good ton. He made 24% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 3 for 274.
