Some other notable batsmen for whom this is true…

Hammond
G.Smith
Weekes
Khawaja
Simpson
Hill

And for some bowlers and 5’fers
Laker
Lindwall
Garner
Miller
Verity

I’m sure I didn’t write some others that are notable

Rohit Sharma at home also had similar record i guess.

 

[Qlder]

when Geoffrey Boycott scored a hundred, England never lost.

Most likely because it took him so long a draw was the only option

 

[Coronis]

Most likely because it took him so long a draw was the only option

10/22 in wins. Same as Hammond.

Rohit Sharma biggest matchwinner tho. All 12 tons in wins.

Most likely because it took him so long a draw was the only option

Though actually on reflection, this innings is probably the most impressive.

In vain, but impressive

For partnerships, there's also the effort of Nevill & SOK vs Sri Lanka - 4 (178).

That was the famous glued pitch.

Everything is so pristine when touring New Zealand now but there used so many little interesting quirks and challenges before.

That tour made Herschelle Gibbs. Daryll Cullinan was imperious. Remember him taking down a young Vettori in the ODI Eden Park. Awesome use of the feet and straight driving. May have been 4 or 5 sixes in a row.

Joel Wilson is the Wrost umpire

What that page doesn't make clear is that Murray was batting one-handed, having injured his shoulder while keeping wicket.

Yeah, could arguably be the most impressive test innings ever

Similarly, Lionel Tennyson in this match.
