10 slowest centuries in Test history by minutes played

#9 Brendon McCullum 302 in 775 minutes against India at Wellington, 2014

Brendon McCullum's unusual innings

Now, the former New Zealand captain is not someone who is particularly known for long innings but back in 2014, Brendon McCullum played an absolutely brilliant innings and saved a Test match that was looking hopeless when he came in to bat in the 2nd innings.

New Zealand had conceded a 246 run 1st innings lead to India and had been reduced to 87 for 4 in the 3rd innings when McCullum came in to bat.

It soon became 94 for 5 but McCullum played an innings of sublime brilliance, patience, and calculated hitting to knock the stuffing out of the Indian bowling attack over the course of 775 minutes.

He came in to bat just before lunch on the 3rd day and continued to bat till day 5. He hit 32 fours and 4 sixes to ensure that New Zealand came out of the game with the honors shared.
