27th September 2026 is the first time that 6 ODI centuries have been scored on the same day
There are 7 previous instances of 5 on the one day
Will need to check with some others around (paging @sirswampthing after grand final weekend, hope you're well great man).
I *think* 27 September's six ODI centuries across matches is the most in a single day.
Cannot find another six. September 3 2013 had five I believe.
