He has 22 innings of 50 and over to his credit, his nearest rivals being S. E. Gregory (14), Duff, McAlister, and Trumper (11 each), and Iredale (10). McAlister is the only Vic­ torian against whose name a double-figure number of such innings can be given. The scores of 50 and over for each side may be given thus :— — P -^2 5« n o > 3° o E h 180 143 New South Wales .. 141 31 V ic to r ia ...................... 108 34 Noble is the only batsman who has twice reached 200, and Frank Tarrant the solitary Victorian who has ever reached that figure. Twelve of the 39 centuries credited to N.S.W. were made by Noble, four each by Trumper and Syd. Gregory. Armstrong claims six of the 35 Victorian centuries, Tom Horan, sen., McAlister, Ransford, and Worrall each having made three. The majority of the three-figure scores were made at Sydney, even the Victorians showing to more advantage there than on their home ground— the more successful batsmen espe­ cially, for McAlister and Ransford each made all three of their centuries away from hom e; while Armstrong made four of his six, and Horan and Worrall two each, at Sydney. Nine of Noble’s dozen were made at home ; but his highest (281) was scored on the Melbourne ground. It may be mentioned here that Noble has 18 times been top scorer for his side in an innings of the series, Alec Bannerman, Syd Gregory, and Harry Moses having each had that honour 11 times. For Victoria, Horan and Graham lead the way with nine times each, T. W . Wills fol­ lowing with eight.
