Matt Renshaw ends 9-year wait for Test ton, only 3 waited longer due to World War I

Matt Renshaw recently broke a nearly decade-long drought by reaching a Test century for the Australian national side during a match against South Africa in Durban. The left-hander steadied the innings after early blows removed both opening partners, leaving the squad fighting out of a precarious position.

Historical records indicate that only four other Australian cricketers have experienced longer intervals between reaching triple figures in the format, with three of those instances stemming from interruptions caused by the First World War and the other involving Bob Simpson following a return from retirement.
