Aussies' lack of Test tons

Australia scrapped together a winning score in Perth but they haven't had a batsman reach three figures this summer.

AUSTRALIA FACING A SUMMER DROUGHT LIKE WE HAVEN'T SEEN FOR 27 YEARS

*No Australian has scored a century in the current four-Test series against India.

*If that trend continues, it will mark the first time since 1991-92 that Australia haven't celebrated at least one century in a home summer before the New Year's Test.

*In 1991-92, there were only two Tests before the New Year's Test. Australia defeated India in both of those games comfortably, winning by 10 wickets and eight wickets.

*Steve Smith and David Warner have scored a combined 44 Test tons, underlining how sorely they have been missed.

*Usman Khawaja is the only Australian Test batsman to reach three figures since the 2018 SCG Test. He scored 141 to help the visitors salvage a dramatic draw in Dubai against Pakistan.
