The first batsman to make century in test cricket was
Charles Bannerman of Australia.
He scored 165 runs with the help of 18 fours against England in the first Test Match played at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 15th to 19th March, 1877. Australia won that match by 45 runs.
He was also the first batsman to face the first delivery bowled in the test cricket. The first delivery in test cricket was bowled by
Alfred Shaw of England.
Please check the following link for the score card of that match:

The 1877 match was a timeless Test played from 15 March to 19 The first ever test was Aust v Eng in March 1877, with a rest day on 18 March, with 4-ball overs. Australia scored 245 in the first innings, with 165 from Charles Bannerman, the first Test century, before he retired hurt (over 67% of the total, a Test record that still stands). The England team, captained by James Lillywhite, scored 196 in reply, with Billy Midwinter taking 5/78, the first Test "five for". Australia scored 104 in their second innings, with Alfred Shaw taking 5/38, setting England a target of 153 to win, but England were bowled out for 108, with Tom Kendall taking 7/55.
What I find amazing is that the centenary test 100 years later in 1977 was also won by AUstralia by the exact same margin of 45 runs.

Nobody Knows.
Nobody knows exactly in which year the game of cricket was started. Some unknown person in some unknown village gali-mohalla might have made a century 200 or 300 years ago !!!
Mr Foolhardy !! When you asked this question, you should have mentioned in which type of cricket........ i.e. test cricket, one-day, first-class match, or club-cricket or village cricket.....
You got the answer you deserved. Right.
