First-class centuries containing more sixes than fours (Jul 94)

(Not complete by any means. Corrections/additions welcome)

6s 4s 109* 6 7 P.J.Heather Tvl v Border Durban 1910-1 113 10 ? H.Sutcliffe Yorks v Northants Kettering 1933 135 11 9 R.Benaud Aus v T.N.Pearce's XI Scarborough 1953 102 8 5 I.L.Bula Fiji v Canterbury Christchurch 1963-4 101 8 5 F.M.M.Worrell A.E.R.Gilligan's XI v NZ Hastings 1958 104 8 7 W.J.Stewart Warwicks v Somerset Street 1961 122 10 7 H.R.Lance Tvl v E.Prov Johannesburg 1966-7 147* 13 10 Majid Khan Pak v Glam Swansea 1967 113 8 7 K.D.Boyce Essex v Leics Chelmsford 1975 112 8 7 I.T.Botham Somerset v Glam Taunton 1985

Notes:

* The exact number of fours in Sutcliffe's innings is not known, but it was certainly less than 10.

* I.L.Bula who is mentioned above has the distinction of having the longest name ever to appear in First-class cricket - Ilekena Lasarua Talembulamainavaleniveivakambulalmainakulalakembalau. Disappointingly, he prefers to use the shorter version of his name. :-)
