Best oneday innings ever u see

I V A Richards 189* v England at Old Trafford - not just for the runs but the match situation.

He came in at 11 for 2 and watched the Windies subside to 102 for 7, then 166 for 9 but somehow propelled them to 272 for 9 at the close.

what abt kapil dev's 175. i haven't seen it and no one ever will see it( because no one has the coverage of that match) but according to the situation he came in i think it might be one of the greatest inns. sledger/clobber might be able to tell us more on it.

There are two ways of looking at this one in my opinion - he came in at 9 for 4 so he was under great pressure which makes his innings remarkable, as does scoring 175* out of 266.

Conversely of course people will point out that it was only against Zimbabwe.

Pontings Innings in the 2003 World Cup Final. (can't remember any oldies)

The way he just unleashed the fury soon after he made his half-century was something else. His last 94 runs came from just 59 balls, a truly magnificent display of strokeplay, and big hitting. I don't think Harbhajan will have very good memories of that match.

dhonis 183* was just an amazing innings

i think Shahid afridi against India in 5th match at Kochi , when he scored 102 of 45 ballz was remarkable.The pitch didn't easy for batting but he ake it like batting paradize remarkable one?okz

gibbs' 175 at the wanderers

Edited by dips_december

that was a good inns too. he hit some 180 odd runs and he almost single handedly won that match for them

Sourav Ganguly's 183

How many balls was that off? How many 4s and 6s did he have?

i am going to have to say Gibbs 175, as this is one of the only big innings ive seen live, followed by pontings in the same match, but you cant take anything from smith either!

i would also rate kluseners in the semi final of 99 world cup, as sa could have lost that match without his innings!

Thats an incredible knock, one question though. Has anyone ever scored a double hundred in an ODI

Thats was an amazing knock really and the match was very exciting
