Answer
In 1930, Perry scored 41 centuries, the most centuries in a season by a batsman in the history of first-class cricket. He scored these centuries at an average of 97.14, and his highest score was 328 not out. He also scored a triple century in that season. Perry's record of 41 centuries stood for 79 years, until it was broken by Virender Sehwag in 2009.
