Batting for Lancashire v Leicestershire at Old Trafford on 13th September 1983, Steve O'Shaughnessy reached three figures in 35 minutes, which equalled the fastest first-class ton, scored by Percy Fender for Surrey v Northants at Northampton in 1920.

However the Wisden Almanack relegates O'Shaughnessy's knock to its "scored in contrived circumstances" list. He was fed more than his fair share of long hops and full-tosses in an attempt to force a result. It didn't work: Lancashire refused to declare and the match was drawn.
