Barring Lillee, that's pretty good.

That's why better to do one against the ATG bowlers

I believe this shows conclusive proof that Warner > Viv at playing fast bowling.
He scored more tons against great pacers, and against more great pacers than Viv.

Personally I would disqualify centuries against them as great :
- Bruce Reid
- Josh Hazelwood
- Mohammad Asif
- Ryan Harris
- Mohammad Abbas
Maybe a few more as well.

Considering the number of greats and number of matches they played, Sanga: 4, Kallis, Dravid: 5 were quite disappointing numbers
Johan
Cricketer Of The Year
Dravid's numbers against the strongest sides are almost unacceptable, I'm pretty sure Stokes has better numbers with the bat against Australia and South Africa, Dravid greatly redeems himself with the 2011 tour of England though

Yeah I kinda guessed that for him, Kallis has 45 test centuries though, with only 5 coming against ATGs which is really surprising.

3,418 runs @ 36.75 in 102 innings, 4 hundreds.

4 tons in 102 innings against the two best teams is bad.

Abd plays from 04-18, a time where almost no greats played, so it's understandable.
Williamson is just poor in tougher away games/ATG attacks. His record away against top teams is bang average.
Abd's only 100 here actually comes in the year of his retirement at Gqeberha against Cummins in 2018.

The most startling fact for me was @subshakerz telling Lara hasn’t scored a single century against Donald(10+ matches) and Akram/Waqar.

Yeah all of his 100s are against either McGrath, Warne, Murali or Pollock. But he scores 14 of them!
