Tony Greig
8 Test hundreds. Of the 6 we can measure, 1 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
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 4 | 1 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 4 | 0 |
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
148 v India, Brabourne, 1973 · Drawn
A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
139 v New Zealand, Nottingham, 1973 · Won
A good ton. He made 43% of the team's runs. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.
148 v West Indies, Bridgetown, 1974 · Drawn
A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
121 v West Indies, Georgetown, 1974 · Drawn
A good ton. A draw: without a ball-by-ball record we cannot say the hundred saved it.
110 v Australia, Brisbane, 1974 · Lost
Not enough match data yet to say.
106 v India, Lord's, 1974 · Won
Not enough match data yet to say.
116 v West Indies, Leeds, 1976 · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
103 v India, Eden Gardens, 1977 · Won
A ton of consequence: rescued the innings. His side trailed by 155 when the innings began. He made 32% of the team's 321. The team won by 10 wickets. It was a Boxing Day or New Year Test. A slow grind at 30 runs per 100 balls.
