List of international cricket centuries at the Gabba explained

The Gabba, officially called the Brisbane Cricket Ground, is an Australian sports stadium in the Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba.^[1] The ground has hosted international cricket since 1931 when the first Test match was played there between Australia and South Africa. A total of 62 Test matches have been played at the Gabba.^[2] The ground has also staged 78 One Day Internationals (ODIs), the first was played in 1979 between England and the West Indies.^[3]

Donald Bradman became the first player to score a Test century at the ground when he made 226 against South Africa in 1931. Bradman's innings of 226 is one of only 5 double centuries seen at the ground.
