The fastest centuries by number of balls faced were achieved in 27 balls, by Glen Chapple and Mark Pettini - though both were achieved by farcical Bowling by the defending side attempting to set up a declaration.

The fastest century against genuine bowling by number of balls faced is David Hookes' 34-ball century for South Australia against Victoria in 1982-83.

The race had become increasingly tense between Brett Lee and Shoaib (the two fastest bowlers in world cricket at the time) to see who would break the 100 mph (160 kph) barrier first.
