List of international cricket centuries by Nathan Astle
Nathan Astle is a former international cricketer, who represented the New Zealand cricket team between 1995 and 2007. He scored centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) in Test cricket and One Day Internationals (ODI) on 11 and 16 occasions respectively. Described by BBC Sport as "[a]n attacking opener in one-day cricket" and "one of the best one-day batsmen New Zealand has ever produced",[1][2] Astle is the second-highest run-scorer for his country in international cricket.[3]
Astle made his ODI debut against West Indies at Eden Park, Auckland in January 1995.[1] His first century came the same year against India at the Vidharba Cricket Association Ground, Nagpur. Opening the batting, Astle made 114 runs from 128 balls as New Zealand won the match. He followed that with another century in the 1996 Cricket World Cup, against England. Astle's match-winning innings of 119 against Pakistan found a mention in the 100 best ODI innings of all-time by Wisden in 2002.[4] Astle scored a century for the second time in World Cup, this time against Zimbabwe in the eighth edition of the tournament.[5] His highest ODI total of 145 not out was achieved against the United States during the 2004 Champions Trophy.[6] In ODIs Astle was most successful against India making five centuries.[7] Astle ended up in the nineties on nine occasions,[lower-alpha 1] including twice where he remained not out.[9]
Astle made his Test debut against Zimbabwe in 1996, a year after he started playing international cricket.[1] Later that year, when he was picked up for the West Indies tour he scored back-to-back hundreds in the series.[10] Astle's highest score was recorded against England at the Jade Stadium, Christchurch in 2002, when he made 222 from 168 balls.[2] In the course of the innings, he set two records—fastest double-century scored in Test cricket,[lower-alpha 2] and the second-highest individual score in the fourth innings of a Test match.[lower-alpha 3] As of 2013, Astle is third in the list of all-time leading century-makers for New Zealand.[12] Astle played four Twenty20 International matches between 2005 and 2006, without recording a century.[10] His highest score in the format was 40 not out.[10]
