Batsmen with fewest innings to reach 23 Test hundreds

5. Mathew Hayden (Australia)

At no. 5 is the aggressive Aussie opener Mathew Hayden, often termed as Haydos. His giantly built physic and his ability to give out immense power in his stroke play make him one of the best Aussie openers to have ever played the game. Mathew took 131 innings to get to his 23rd test century. In over 103 test matches, this left-hander has scored 8625 runs. But talking about his test career cannot hold back without talking about his ruthless innings of 380 against Zimbabwe, which still is a record of being the highest individual score by an Australian cricketer.
