Who has scored the slowest Test Century in the history of test cricket?

Answer 1

The slowest Test Century in the history of cricket was made by Mudassar Nazar for Pakistan against England in 1977.

Answer 2

Boycott was dropped for selfish, not slow, batting (he made 246 in ten hours, which isn't particularly slow these days and was actually quite fast for the era, although his first 100 was made slowly). Trevor Bailey used to hold the record for the slowest 50 at 3 minutes under 6 hours, but I think someone's gone past it now. The full list can be found at www.cricinfo.com
