Equivalent of a 100 in other sports?
Centuries scored is often the standard in determining the worth of a batsman. Wonder where you guys would rate this accomplishment in relation to individual achievements in other sports. Here's some possibilities:
Soccer/football: hat-trick
Hockey: Hat-trick
Baseball: Grand slam. I actually think grand slams come down to luck and not a good measure. Maybe more like having a 5-RBI game.
Basketball: Double-Double
American Football: Rushing or passing 400-yards. Or scoring 3 touchdowns
Rugby: no idea, don't follow.
Hat-tricks in soccer is relatively rare. I think out of all of these, a double-double in basketball is probably the closest, given how likely it's to occur in a game and what kind of an impact it has for the team.
