Hughes' remarkable feat

After scoring a brilliant 115 in the first innings of Durban Test, Philip Hughes went one step further as he scored 160 in the second dig.

Hughes thus became only the 14th Australian to score centuries in both innings of a Test. He provided 19th such instance for Australia.

The difference is because of the fact that four batsmen - Ricky Ponting, Greg Chappell, Allan Border and Matthew Hayden - did so more than once.

The following table lists all Australians scoring centuries in both innings of a Test:
