In cricket, if a batsmen scores a double or even a tripple century, does it count as one century or 2 and 3?

Question

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO FURTHER ASK HOW WOULD THE STATS LOOK IF I SCORED 157 RUNS...WOULD I GET A CENTURY AND A 50 OR JUST A CENTURY? OR IF SCORED 289...WILL IT BE 1 CENTURY AND A 50 OR JUST A CENTURY.

Answer 1

For the purposes of a batsmans career statistics, double and triple centuries still count as 1 century. The centuries statistics for batsmen refer to how many scores fo 100+ they have scored.

If doubles and triples counted as 2 or 3 centuries, Don Bradman would have scored 43 centuries (his 29 centuries included 10 doubles and 2 triples), and Brian Lara would have scored close to 50 test centuries!

Answer 2

It will be counted as one century only and not 2 centuries or 3 centuries. However, if he scores a double century or triple century, his name will be included in the respective categories

Answer 3

No matter how many runs the batsman scores past a hundred, the only thing that the statisticians count is the number of times in his career a batsman has passed 100, ie got 100 or more. Some statisticians count the number of double hundreds, triple hundreds etc scored in a batsman's career, but they do not count towards the hundreds column.

Answer 4

3 centuries

Answer 5

If a batsman rankings 212 and then gets out the information will formally tutor that he has extra one fifty run score to his call, one hundred one score to his call and one 2 hundred run score to his call.

Answer 6

1 century.....over 100 score........

Answer 7

only one century.good question
