DGB: 43 centuries

Posted by Amit Varma on 12/16/2005 in The stat race

Sanjeev Naik wonders here why a double-century shouldn't be counted in the records as two centuries, and a triple as three. Interesting point.

I suspect that decision must be one that would have been arbitrarily made at some point, after which it would have carried on as custom. Had it gone the other way, SRT would still be a bit behind DGB.
