10 Test hundreds. Of the 10 we can measure, 3 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) | 4 | 3 |
| Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan) | 3 | 0 |
| At home | 3 | 1 |
| Away | 7 | 2 |
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
125 v India, Sydney, 2004 · At home · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
118 v New Zealand, Christchurch, 2005 · Away · Won
A ton of consequence: rescued the innings. His side trailed by 273 when his innings began. He made 27% of the team's runs. The match was won by 9 wickets.
157 v West Indies, Bridgetown, 2008 · Away · Won
A good ton. He came in comfortably, and the team did not depend on him.
131* v New Zealand, Brisbane, 2008 · At home · Won
A ton of consequence: carried the innings. In at 0 for 0, 58 ahead. He made 49% of the team's 268, and no one else came close. The team won by 149 runs. The rest of the team added only 137.
113 v West Indies, North Sound, 2008 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.
102 v India, Nagpur, 2008 · Away · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
122 v England, Cardiff, 2009 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
108 v South Africa, Durban, 2009 · Away · Won
A good ton. He made 31% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.
106 v New Zealand, Hamilton, 2010 · Away · Won
A ton of consequence: wore the opposition down. A slow grind: 38 runs per 100 balls off 279 balls, 100th run off ball 262, batted 2, innings 3. The match was won.
100 v Pakistan, Hobart, 2010 · At home · Won
A good ton. His side already led by 218 when the innings began. He made 46% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.
