Michael Clarke (161* & 0)

England v Australia: 4th Investec Ashes Test - Day Two

Michael Clarke's 161 against South Africa at the Newlands in 2014 was the gustiest Test ton seen in recent times.

Not a great player of the short ball, Clarke braved his way through a barrage of short-pitch deliveries to score 161* in the first innings to take Australia to 494/7 before declaring the innings.

Clarke's penultimate century was followed by a torturous duck but Australia still managed to win the series-decider in Cape Town to win the three-match series 2-1.

The loss knocked the hosts off top spot in the Test rankings.


Graeme Smith (122 & 0)

Graeme Smith played a captain's knock as he notched up 122 against Australia at the Adelaide Oval in November 2012.

In the second Test of the three-match series, the South Africa skipper waged a lone battle, while his batting partners stuttered.

Riding on Smith's ton the Proteas managed to reach 388 in response to hosts' first innings score of 550.

In the second innings, the visitors needed 430 to win the match but Smith was dismissed by Ben Hilfenhaus for none.

Nonetheless, Smith's first innings heroics were enough to save the Test.
