#5 Jack Gregory- 67 balls
The Test was played on a batting wicket and Jack Gregory was dropped thrice during his innings. But these facts cannot undermine the value of Gregory's 67-ball hundred, which remained the fastest hundred in Test cricket for more than six decades.
In the second Test of their tour to South Africa in 1921, Australia won the toss and found themselves at a position of two down for 128.
In walked Gregory who started playing his shots from the beginning and pressured the hosts. He was bold, aggressive and came with a clear mindset. He reached his hundred off 67 balls, a world record at that time and set the foundation for a big total for the visitors.
Gregory reached his hundred in 70 minutes, and till date, no other batsman has scored a hundred before 70 minutes.
