List of international cricket centuries by David Gower
[1] He scored centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) on 18 occasions in Test cricket, and 7 times in One Day International (ODI) matches.[2] He was appointed to the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1992 for services to sports,[3] and in 2009 was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.[5] The following summer, Gower scored his first double-century, remaining unbeaten on 200 off 279 deliveries, in a batting innings described as "effortless" by the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.At the time, it was the sixth largest partnership for England, but in the next match Gower and Graham Gooch surpassed it, putting on 351 runs together.[13][note 2] Despite playing ODI cricket for England until 1991, Gower's final century in the format came in June 1985 against Australia, when he scored 102.
