A
Dave Nourse
💡 Explanation:
Dave Nourse debuted for South Africa in 1902-03 and scored his only Test hundred 19 years later in 1921-22 when he was 42 years old. This remarkable gap between debut and first century is one of cricket's curiosities. Ian Botham and Viv Richards are from different eras, and Sir Donald Bradman was Australian and scored centuries much earlier in his career.
