Clearly, with more test innings comes the opportunity to score more test hundred
Given the number of tests played by some players these days

With regards to this thread there is an obvious statement that can be made: It is harder to score more runs and more tons if you are unable to play as many matches but that is really as far as such statements can be objectively taken.

but the stats show that players from previous eras did play as many tests overall tho and that their ratio of innings:centuries was no better than the current players vying for the record
i know some posters like trying to think that everything in the past was better but in this case the stats just do not back that up and i agree 100% that its impossible to try and compare degrees of difficulty as there are factors for and against each era and they cannot be quantified
