How rare is a test century?
475894
In the history of cricket there is only 6 people to have scored 30 or more centuries, and they avg 100-150 matches, for top players the ratio is around 7-15%\n\nInterestingly of people to score 11 test centuries there is only 12 people! In the entire history, that seems quite rare, and rember thesse people are the cream of the history of plyers, they can spend their entire carears playing avg, 50-80 tests\n\nWhen looking at the stats the conversion rates of around 5-15% of all matches turn to centuries.  Than in a match there are probally 6 reconized batsman with chances 5-15%, i will assume that each team has a 30-40% chance of scoring a century, so total chacne of scoring a century is around 80% per every match, which is quite high, but rember that there are alot of batman, in the team so there are alot of chances, that go missing.

Because 0-100 was the first century\n100-200 was the second century\nTherefore 1900 -2000 was the 20th century\n\nand 2000-2100 in the 21st century.

Charles Bannerman of Australia was the first batsman to score a century in Test Cricket.  In the first ever test match in the history of cricket played between Australia and England at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 15th to 19th March 1877, Bannerman scored 165 runs in 285 minutes with the help of 18 fours in the first innings.  He has scored 69.6 % runs of Australia's first innings total of 245 runs, which is still a record in test cricket.\nHe was retired hurt.

Do you mean total sixes in test career or in one innings? I will give both the answers.\n\nMost Sixes In Test Career: Adam Gilchrist is currently leading with 93 sixes. He surpassed Christ Cairns' record of 87 sixes. Cairns broke Sir Viv Richards' record of 84 sixes. Flintoff is closing in with 72 sixes.\n\nMost Sixes In a Test Match Innings: 12 sixes jointly held by Wasim Akran (257*) & Nathan Astle (222). \n\nNathan Astle's inning of 222 is also a fastest double century in test cricket off 153 balls. He smashed 28 fours and 12 sixes.

Lala Amarnath scored the first-ever test century in India, against England in 1933/34 in Bombay. It was India's second-ever test match.

Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. It has long been considered the ultimate test of playing ability between cricketing nations. It remains the highest-regarded form of the game, although the comparatively new One-day International cricket is now more popular amongst some audiences. The name "Test" is thought to arise from the idea that the matches are a "test of strength" between the sides involved. It seems to have been used first to describe an English team that toured Australia in 1861-62, although these matches are not considered Test matches today.\n\nIf you want to know more about Test Cricket, please visit the following website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cricket
