Jeez this didn't age well for you. Williamson actually has the best average of all of them (60) in the last decade vs. Kohli's average of 30 in his last 5 years.
Kohli is obviously the worst of the Fab 4 & it's not even close.

But remember Williamson failed in SA when he was a 21 year old & hasn't had the opportunities since, so he can't be discussed in the same company as Kohli

Here's a summary of all of Hayden's centuries in test:-
vs WI in Adelaide; 1997 (Home):-
AUS won the match by an innings and 183 runs; so, Bevan's all round performance (4/31, 85* & 6/82) actually won AUS the match, not Hayden's 125(226).
vs IND in Wankhede; 2001 (Away):-
Hayden's 119(172) was definitely important to take a 173 run lead in the 1st innings, but so was Gilchrist's 122 off 112 (even more so). Besides, Gilchrist too 6 catches in the match.
vs IND in Chennai; 2001 (away):-
Hayden did smash a double ton (203 off 320) in this match, but AUS couldn't win the match. Harbhajan's 15 wicket haul in the match (7/133 & 8/84) won IND the match by 2 wickets.
vs NZ in Brisbane; 2001 (home):-
Hayden scored a century (136 off 195), but so did Langer (104 off 231) and Gilchrist (118 off 158). Brett lee's all round performance (61, 5/67 & 1/53) won him the MOM award.
vs SA in Adelaide; 2001 (Home):-
Hayden scored a century (131 off 207) in the 2nd innings, which was definitely important to impose a massive 375 run target on SA. But there were two other centurions that match (Langer and Martyn). Warne's 41 off 77 in he 1st innings and 8 wicket haul in the match won him the MOM.
vs SA in Melbourne; 2001 (home):-
Hayden scored a century (138 off 211) in the 1st innings, which could be called a match winning knock, but it definitely wasn't a single handed effort. Langer scored 85(176), Steve Waugh scored 90(156) and Martyn scored 52(104).
vs SA in Sydney; 2001 (home):-
Hayden scored 105 & 21* in the match, But Langer scored 126 & 30* and Martyn scored 117(166). So, it was not a single handed effort either (Kirsten also scored 153(359) while following on).
vs SA in Johannesburg; 2002 (away):-
Hayden scored 122(189) in the 1st innings. But Martyn scored 133(207) and Gilchrist scored a double ton (204 off 213). Gilchrist was rightfully awarded the MOM.
vs PAK in Sharjah; 2002 (Neutral):-
Hayden's 119(255) in the 1st innings won him the MOM. But Shane Warne's very cheap (took those wickets at an average of 3) 8 wicket haul in the match (4/11 & 4/13) was very important to cause the PAK batting lineup to collapse.
vs ENG in Brisbane; 2002 (home):-
Hayden scored two tons in the match (197 off 268 and 103 off 152) and deservingly got the MOM award.
vs ENG in Melbourne; 2002 (home):-
Hayden scored 102 off 149, but Langer scored 250 off 407. So, it was Langer's innings that helped AUS to impose a follow on on ENG.
vs WI in Port of Spain; 2003 (away):-
Hayden scored an unbeaten century (100* off 180) in the 2nd innings. But Ponting scored 206(362), Lehmann scored 160(228) and Gilchrist scored 101(104); so, it was Ponting and Lehmann who took the 1st innings total to 576, Not Hayden.
vs WI in ST John's; 2003 (away):-
Hayden scored 177(260) but couldn't win the match.
vs ZIM in W.A.C.A; 2003 (Home):-
Hayden smashed a 380 off 437 and won the MOM, but it was against ZIM; so who cares?
vs ZIM in Sydney; 2003 (home):-
Hayden did score a quick hundred in the 2nd innings (101 off 85), which helped to chase down the total. But Ponting's 169 in the 1st innings and 53* in the second innings won him the MOM. Again, it was against ZIM; so, who cares?
vs IND in Melbourne; 2003 (Home):-
Hayden scored 136(173) and 53*(63), but Ponting scored 257(458) in the 1st innings and was awarded the MOM.
vs SL in Galle; 2004 (away):-
Definitely a match winning performance from Hayden (41, 130 & 7 catches). But Warne got 10 wickets in the match. So, it wasn't a single handed effort either.
vs SL in Cairns; 2004 (home):-
Hayden scored two centuries in the match (117 off 184 and 132 off 169) and won the MOM, but Langer also scored 162(285); and the match was drawn.
vs ENG at The Oval; 2005 (away):-
Hayden scored a century in the first innings (138 off 303), but the match was drawn. The MOM was awarded to Pietersen for his 158(187). Warne's 12 wicket haul in the match is also worth a mention.
vs ICC world XI in Sydney; 2005 (home):-
Definitely a match winning performance (111 & 77) from Hayden and was rightfully awarded the MOM.
vs WI in Brisbane; 2005 (home):-
Hayden scored a century (118 off 163) in the 2nd innings, But Ricky Ponting scored 149 and 104*, and was awarded the MOM.
vs WI in Hobart; 2005 (home):-
Hayden scored 110 off 169 in the 1st innings, but Mike Hussey scored 137 off 234 and won the MOM.
vs SA in Melbourne; 2005 (home):-
Hayden was the top scorer in in the match (137 off 242); But Ponting scored 117(198) and Hussey scored 122(203); Hussey was awarded the MOM.
vs SA in Durban; 2006 (away):-
Hayden scored 102(217) in the second innings (also scored a duck in the 1st innings). But Warne's 8 wicket haul in the match won him the MOM.
vs ENG in Melbourne; 2006 (home):-
Hayden scored a 153(265), but Symond's scored 153(220); Warne's 7 wicket haul in the match won him the MOM.
vs IND in Melbourne; 2007 (home):-
Definitely a match winning performance from Hayden (124 & 47) and was rightfully awarded the MOM.
vs IND in Sydney; 2008 (home):-
Hayden scored 123(196) in the the 2nd innings, but Hussey scored 145(259). Symonds' All round performance (162*, 61 & 3/51) won him the MOM.
vs IND in Adelaide in 2008 (home):-
Hayden scored 103, but the match was drawn; and Sachin was awarded the MOM for his 153(205).
So, only 5 or 6 of his 30 centuries were actually match defining.

Note:
Langer was plumb in the 1st over to Cairns but not given.
After lots of rain and 2 good declarations, NZ were in complete control and got robbed by negative wide bowling by McGrath to McMillan and Cairns. Australia escaped with a drawn test and drawn series.
@TheJediBrah can confirm that NZ got robbed in that series - often mentions it.

Biggest injustice of the series was Warne being "out" on 99 off what should have been a no-ball. Robbed him of what would have been his only test ton.

More matches buddy, but good try. Kane was too busy bullying already won games, clearly.

Doubtful, considering Kane has a much better record in every innings.
