🏏 Percy Fender's 35-min century still reigns supreme

Percy Fender scored the fastest first-class century by time in just 35 minutes on August 26, 1920, for Surrey against Northamptonshire. This record remains unbeaten because modern fast scores were achieved under staged match conditions. Steve O’Shaughnessy matched the time in 1983, but the circumstances were manipulated to force a result. Subsequent faster centuries, like Glen Chapple's in 1993, were also deemed invalid. Therefore, Fender's authentic 1920 performance stands as the benchmark for time-based batting speed. 🏏
