When 50 runs are scored we say batsman has scored half century. When 100 runs are scored why it is said that batsman has scored a Ton ? (As far as I know 1 Ton = 1000 )

Scoring a century is colloquially referred to as a ton or hundred in Cricket. Ton is a unit of measure for things other than weight also. It has a long history and has acquired a number of meanings and uses over the years. It is used principally as a unit of mass, and as a unit of volume. It can also be used as a measure of energy, for truck classification, or as a colloquial term.In case of weight it is 1000 kgs for metric ton, the 2240 lb ton is called "long ton" and the 2000 lb ton "short ton. Please see the Wiki for further details.
