Hughes thus became only the 14th Australia [Images]n 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 [Images], Greg Chappell [Images], Allan Border [Images] and Matthew Hayden [Images] - did so more than once.

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