Find out which batters have recorded the most centuries in Ashes cricket.

Don Bradman - 19 centuries

There are few batting records that Don Bradman doesn't hold; with 19 centuries, he also holds the record for the most Ashes 100s.

Averaging nearly 90 in Ashes cricket, Bradman top-scored with 334.

Steve Smith - 12 centuries

If there is one Ashes record that Bradman may lose, it could be the most centuries and he could lose it to Steve Smith. It would likely require Smith contesting three more Ashes series, currently recording a century every three matches.

Of course, Smith did pass 100 three times in the 2019 tour of England. Do that a couple more times and he'll be on the brink...

Jack Hobbs - 12 centuries

One of England's all time great batters, it took Jack Hobbs 18 Ashes innings to raise his bat for the first time. Once he did, the centuries quickly followed. The 1911/12 series saw Hobbs post scores of 126*, 187 and 178 in Australia, going on to record 12 in total.

Steve Waugh - 10 centuries

One of England's chief tormentors throughout the 1990s, Steve Waugh, seven of Waugh's 10 Ashes centuries came on English soil, with four of those innings only coming to an end when Waugh ran out of partners at the other end.

Wally Hammond - 9 centuries

Four of Wally Hammond's nine Ashes centuries came in his first tour of Australia, with two of those going on to be double centuries at the SCG and MCG.

David Gower - 9 centuries

David Gower didn't have the easiest start in Ashes cricket, averaging 42.00, 30.40 and 25.00 in his first three series, but in 1985, Gower came to the fore, averaging 81.33 and recording three centuries, adding two more in his final Ashes series in 1990/91.
