Best Answer

The first century in TestCricket was scored by Charles Bannerman who scored 165 (before retiring hurt) in the first ever Test between Australia and England (played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from 15-19 March 1877. The first one dayinternational (ODI) century was scored by Denis Amiss who amassed 103 runs against Australia at Old Trafford in 1972.

Viv Richards was born on March 7, 1952. He played his first Test Match in 1974 and first ODI in 1975. So there is no chance that he could have scored the first ever century in any format of cricket
