   The first batsman to score century in test match?

Charls Banner man of Australia scored the first ever century in test cricket, making 165 unbeaten against England at Melbourne in March 1877. WG Grace of England made second ever test century (152 vs Australia at Oval) 3 years later. Intertestingly, England and Australia were first two teams before South Africans joined nearly 3 decades later which means for only Aussies and English have scored 50 test centuries!

CRICKET STATUS

 The first batsman to score century in one day international history

        The first batsman to score a century in a One-Day International was Dennis Amiss - interestingly, of the five times Amiss reached 50 runs in One Day Internationals, he topped the century four times. This first century, achieved in the second One Day International between England and Australia at Manchester's Old Trafford ground took place on August 24, 1972. His innings totalled 103 runs in 134 balls, an innings which included 9 fours.

Amiss played first-class cricket for Warwickshire for 28 seasons.

Amiss also scored the second One Day International century, almost eleven months later, against New Zealand on July 18, 1973.
