Best oneday innings ever u see - Cricket Forum | Cricket Discussion Forum

You've missed a lot of his great innings haven't you?

Oh, I remember one! Wi vs PAK in the VB series in 2004. Lara made a blistering 153 - I think - against PAK and that won the match pretty well for them. Watching Lara launching the bowlers over covers for six was magnificent! Fantastic knock it was.

In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

laras 153 does not deserved to be in that list,as the track was very good for batting and the bowling attack was ordinary too.the innings that he played against SA (2003 world cup)is the best ever innings one will see.when lara came in to bat the score was 7 for 2 in 6.4 overs and the bowl was moving around quite a lot.after 21 overs the score was 50 for 2.and to reach 278 from there needed an innings like that to be played.lara scored 116 from 181 balls with 12 fours and 2 sixes.windies won that match by a narrow margin of 3 runs and lara was the man of the match that day.considering the bowling attack and the pressure, this is the best innings one wiil see.

Kapils 175 vs zimbawe is the best one day innings

That must be a wrong un!!! Best innings are classed on situations, pitch coditions and the quality of the oppositions.

Vivs 189 was amazng

Inzy's innings in the 1992 semi final won the game from no where

Anwars world record 194 was amazing to watch, he took Kumble to the

cleaners.

pontings knock in the 03 worlc cup final won the game the cup for auss, batted india right out of it.

Many of Laras knocks are always entertaining as are sachins, i remember so brilliant tons agaings auss, he single handedly won the games against them. Hammering, Warne, Mcgrath and co.

Yes it is clobber but its not in the same league as viv's.

You may wel have done, im not critising, im just putting my view across to the person who said Kapils knock was the best. You dont need to take posts too personally.

True Sledger and it's a shame he had to go before his time. He played some real magnificent innings for the proteas and more so in the 99 WC. SA were penalized 1 over in that match too and that's why you could say they lost by the 3 runs. Klusener just took Gayle to the cleaners in just one over and changed back the whole match.

their attack featured one Duncan Fletcher!

i would have to say the latest twenty twenty match that was played because wat a brilliant all round performance by the aussies

a new world record 222

Mark Waugh's 173 vs West Indies 2000/01 series 2nd Final. Always a pleasure to watch him play but this was certainly his best knock and still the Highest ODI score ever posted by an Australian!

Live? Jayasuriya's 152, off a mere 99 balls at Headingley July 2006. He brutally assaulted England through cover and the arc between backward square leg and mid-on.

When you win the toss - bat.
If you are in doubt, think about it - then bat. If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat.

Thanks for bringing up Cairns mate! A very fine player he was and to me, he would make anyside of today; even Aussie. A much better all rounder than Symonds! Cairns had a wicked slower ball - it had even the greatest in trouble. His batting was a sight to behold too. Very lusty hitting! Simply one of the greatest for the Kiwi and probably the best after Hadlee and Crowe.

Also add to that the 102* by Cairns in the ICC Knockout Final 2000/2001.

Talk about an innings under pressure

ICC Champions Trophy Finals 2004....between Eng and the West Indies. It was a nailing biting match....the game swung so many times you just could not be sure of the end result and in the end it was the result that I wanted !!!!

Oh my.

If I issue a challenge, will you accept....

Learn to spell,

develop grammar,

admit there is an aspect of cricket in which Pakistan does not reign supreme.

Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition.
