Ireland - Kevin O'Brien (1)

Kevin O'Brien is the only centurion for newcomers Ireland.

The latest entrants into Test cricket along with Afghanistan, Ireland have a single century for them scored in their debut Test against Pakistan. In a more than impressive debut, Kevin O'Brien's 50-ball 100 gave Ireland hope to pull off a memorable victory. Kevin's 100 in the 2011 World Cup against England remains one of the most cherished moments in Ireland cricket.

With the Test hundred against Pakistan, O'Brien's name will remain in the history of Ireland cricket, being the first ever Test centurion for Ireland in their first ever Test.
