30 Test hundreds. Of the 26 we can measure, 4 were tons of consequence. The other 4 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) | 11 | 0 |
| Second tier (New Zealand, South Africa) | 11 | 1 |
| Third tier (Sri Lanka, West Indies, Pakistan) | 5 | 1 |
| Other (Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Afghanistan and the rest) | 3 | 2 |
| At home | 10 | 4 |
| Away | 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.
