  1. Yes, Grag Chappell 1985 ashes on the 27th of december


  2. In International cricket -NO

    Geoffrey Boycott's 77 for England v Australia at Perth in 1978-79 is the highest score in Test cricket without a boundary.

    He faced 337 balls and played for 454 minutes.

  3. narkut pradeep form india scored a 100 with no boundries it took him 210 balls

  4. We don't actually know the answer to this question, as there have been 182 test match centuries where the number of fours was not recorded. It's highly likely that most or all of them contained at least one boundary, but we can't say for sure. The lowest number of boundaries ever RECORDED in a test hundred is 2, which has been achieved twice by England batsmen: PA Gibb in 1939 and GP Thorpe in 2000.

    Only two one-day hundreds don't have the number of fours recorded: Moin-ul-Atiq in 1988 and GM Wood in 1985. Given that Moin-ul-Atiq made his 105 of 117 balls against Bangladesh, it's pretty likely that he hit a boundary or two; but Wood took 142 balls over his 104 not out, so it's possible that he didn't hit a four. The least RECORDED number of boundaries in a one-day hundred is 1, by Ricky Ponting in 2003.

  5. not 100% sure on this one, i have heard that geoffrey boycott done it once

  6. No, but Geoff Boycott hit 77 for England against Australia at Perth.

  7. No Cricketer has scored a century without any boundary in test cricket or in ODI.

    The highest score made by a batsman without any boundary hit was Geoff Boycott's 77 for England against Australia at Perth in 1978-79. His score did include one four - but it was all-run and didn't actually reach the ropes.

    However, two batsmen have scored century without any boundary in first class matches.. Alan Hill of Derbyshire made 103 for Orange Free State against Griqualand West at Bloemfontein in 1976-77 without reaching the fence, while Paul Hibbert made exactly 100 without a four for Victoria against the touring Indians at Melbourne in 1977-78.. During  Australia's tour of England in 1926 Bill Woodfull reached his century against Surrey at The Oval without hitting a four.
