The listings of centurions within Tons of Runs demonstrate that being recognised for one’s cricketing prowess is not the sole domain of players who have excelled at the highest levels. Tons of Runs is equally interested in the exploits of city, suburban and rural cricketers, providing an avenue to be immortalised in a national register that is dedicated to the irresistible, major batting milestone—the time-honoured pursuit of bringing up ‘three figures’. Moreover, the register will serve as a national archival reference.

Sourcing 100s that date from the mid-1850s, various methods of data collection have ensured that the publication is inclusive, across all Australian States and Territories.

Its breadth extends from the early period of Australian cricket, up to (and including) the end of the 2007/08 Australian cricket season. The publishing objective has been achieved: to cast the net widely and obtain individual scores of 100+ derived from all grades and playing surfaces in the short, medium and long forms of the game—for both Men’s and Women’s competition.
