#2 Jack Gregory (Australia) – 100 Against England, Melbourne, 1921
Jack Gregory’s century came in a massive Australian victory at the MCG. Batting first, Australia were 282-7 when Gregory joined Nip Pellew and the duo added 173 for the eighth wicket. What makes Gregory’s century even more special is that it came in just 115 balls, a strike-rate of 86.95, which was unbelievable in 1921.
Gregory was far from being done though. He picked up a 7-wicket haul, including the wickets 6 of England’s top 7 batsmen, as England had to follow on. England eventually lost by an innings and 91 runs.
