His remaining century was achieved at The Oval in 1982 when Nottinghamshire lost to Surrey by 10 wickets. Not surprisingly, his 5 match-winning centuries were complemented by significant bowling performances. Hadlee did not score a century in each innings of a match during his first-class career. Furthermore, in spite of making 59 fifties he never scored a hundred and a fifty in the same match nor did he record a fifty in each innings of a match. 50% of Runs Scored in a Completed Innings (2) 61.04% 210* out of 344 Nottinghamshire v Middlesex Lord’s 1984 50.29% 84 out of 167 Nottinghamshire v Worcestershire Kidderminster 1987 A Match Aggregate of 200 (1) 210 (210*) Nottinghamshire v Middlesex Lord’s 1984 Century Partnerships (32) 186 7th W.K.Lees NEW ZEALAND v PAKISTAN Karachi 1976/77 105 6th M.G.Burgess NEW ZEALAND v AUSTRALIA Auckland 1976/77 143* 7th V.R.Brown Canterbury v Wellington Christchurch 1978/79 159 7th J.V.Coney New Zealanders v Queensland Brisbane 1980/81 124 8th E.E.Hemmings Nottinghamshire v Yorkshire Bradford 1981 115 8th N.J.B.Illingworth Nottinghamshire v Surrey Kennington Oval 1982 142 5th D.W.Randall Nottinghamshire v Worcestershire Worcester 1982 156 6th E.J.Gray New Zealanders v Somerset Taunton 1983 122 8th M.D.Crowe New Zealanders v Worcestershire Worcester 1983 166 8th D.R.Hadlee Canterbury v Auckland Christchurch 1983/84 174* 6th B.N.French Nottinghamshire v Hampshire Bournemouth 1984 142 5th D.W.Randall Nottinghamshire v Sussex Trent Bridge 1984 124 5th P.Johnson Nottinghamshire v Middlesex Lord’s 1984 107 6th B.N.French Nottinghamshire v Middlesex Lord’s 1984 106 5th C.E.B.Rice Nottinghamshire v Northamptonshire Trent Bridge 1984 145 6th J.F.Reid NEW ZEALAND v PAKISTAN Wellington 1984/85 109* 6th J.D.Birch Nottinghamshire v Kent Trent Bridge 1985 114* 7th E.E.Hemmings Nottinghamshire v Glamorgan Swansea 1985 111 5th R.T.Robinson Nottinghamshire v Yorkshire Scarborough 1985 132* 7th J.V.Coney NEW ZEALAND v AUSTRALIA Wellington 1985/86 112 6th J.D.Birch Nottinghamshire v Surrey Kennington Oval 1986 206* 6th J.D.Birch Nottinghamshire v Somerset Trent Bridge 1986 246* 6th J.J.Crowe NEW ZEALAND v SRI LANKA Colombo 1986/87 78
