By making a superb unconquered 117 against West Indies at Kingston, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq registered his 22nd century in the 168th innings of his 101st Test match. It was his second successive hundred in as many as matches. Inzamam had made a masterful 184 in his 100th Test against India at Bangalore in March this year. By doing the same in Kingston, Inzamam thus became the first man on the planet to score Test 100s in 100th as well as 101st Test. Just for record, there have been four other players - Gordon Greenidge (149), Javed Miandad (145), Alec Stewart (105) and Colin Cowdrey (104) - who made tons in their 100th Test match. But none of them went on to make another one in the very next. Similarly, two players, Brian Lara (115) and Sir Vivian Richards (146) made centuries in their 101st Test after not much success in their 100th appereance.
