Hundreds

[codswallop]

What is the highest number of individual hundreds scored in a single innings in a County or Test match? Has a team been all bowled out or all caught out or all lbw? Thanks

Most individual 100's in a test match innings is 5 in a match from June 1955 Australia v West Indies.
For Australia,
CC McDonald 127
RN Harvey 204
KR Miller 109
RG Archer 128
R Benaud 121 -yes, that Richie Benaud!!

Most centuries in a County innings is 4, and this has been done more than 20 times.

The only time all ten wickets have ever been clean bowled in a first class game was way back in 1850 when John Wisden (yes, that Wisden) did the deed for North of England against South of England.
A bit more relative trivia..
Most 100s in the first innings of a test match is 8 in a South Africa v West Indies match in May 2005.
SA -114 - 126 - 147 - 131 - total score 588
WI -317 - 127 - 127 - 107 - total score 747

Finally the flip side of the coin..

The highest Test innings score where no-one scored a century is 524 by India against New Zealand in Nov 1976.
The Indian card read 66 - 43 - 70 - 68 - 13 - 50 - 64 - 37 - 27 - 50 - 10 and 26 extras.
