10. Walter William Read (117)
Another Englishmen in the list Walter William Read scored 117 against Australia in 1884. During the third test match at The Oval in London, he scored his maiden Test ton. In his innings, Read struck 20 boundaries and spent 113 minutes at the crease.
More than 100 years have gone by but Read’s record still stands and the chances of anyone breaking it are very slim.
