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. 212 v West Indies, St John's, 2006 · Away · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn, and on the facts we have the hundred didn't save it.

  2. 100 v England, Nagpur, 2006 · At home · Drawn

    A good ton. The match was drawn. On the facts we have, the match didn't hinge on it.

  3. 202 v Pakistan, Eden Gardens, 2007 · At home · Drawn

    A good ton. A draw against a lower-tier side: a hundred doesn't save a draw against a side like that.

  4. 138* v Bangladesh, Mirpur, 2007 · Away · Won

    A good ton. He made 23% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.

  5. 116 v South Africa, Cape Town, 2007 · Away · Lost

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