14 Test hundreds. Of the 14 we can measure, 3 were tons of consequence.
Who against, and where
| Hundreds | Tons of consequence | |
|---|---|---|
| Top tier (England, Australia, India) | 6 | 1 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 5 | 1 |
| Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan) | 3 | 1 |
| At home | 9 | 3 |
| Away | 5 | 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
120 v Australia, W.A.C.A, 2013 · Away · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.

258 v South Africa, Cape Town, 2016 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
128 v India, Rajkot, 2016 · Away · Drawn
A good ton. A draw, and his side was never in danger of losing, so the hundred didn't save anything.
