← Tons of Consequence

Stan McCabe

6 Test hundreds. Of the 4 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.

Who against, and where

Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa)20

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. 187* v England, Sydney, 1932 · Lost

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

  2. 137 v England, Manchester, 1934 · Drawn

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

  3. 189* v South Africa, Johannesburg, 1935 · Drawn

    A good ton. His side trailed by 398 when his innings began. He made 69% of the team's 274. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the hundred didn't save the match.

  4. 149 v South Africa, Durban, 1935 · Won

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  5. 112 v England, Melbourne, 1937

    Not enough match data yet to say.

  6. 232 v England, Nottingham, 1938 · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn. A draw in which his side was not behind when the innings began, so it was not in danger of losing.
