Sachin's 186* against New Zealand in Hyderabad against New Zealand in 1999 in just 150 odd balls. That was his greatest ODI innings in my opinion.
"His classical hits down the ground, met with a checked drive, were Tendulkar at his best. It was though he had a new lease of life." - Sachin Tendulkar's return to cricket with a 91-Ball century.

I agree, that was some knock, but an innings shouldt just be judged on pace of innings. opposition, quality of bowling, condition of wicket, situation of team. Therefore on this basis i would say Sir Viv Richards innings is so far the best considering all factors. Saeed Anwrs 194 ws amazing and entertaining but it was a good wicket and pak were in a decent position.

I would honestly say Gibbs 175. That was a fantastic match. The best ever cricket match, the best sporting team achievement in South Sfricas history, I could go on....

Thats shocking. My favorite bowler hit by Fleming. When I become a cricketer ( ) if Fleming is still there, I'm going to nail all his three stumps to the floor.


Fleming will still have to be playing since hes the only batter New Zealand has of resonable quality.

I know you're from New Zealand, but I'm going to disagree with the fact that Fleming is New Zealand's batsman of reasonable quality, I think there are plenty of good New Zealand batsmen out there. There's Astle, who's still playing and did well for Lancashire this year. You have Styris who is good with the best. There is people like Vincent and Marshall who are good players, and the likes of Fulton, Papps and How are good prospects, plus going down your order, McCullum can bat well, so can Franklin and Vettori can be deadly with the bat on his day. Plus there are good prospects for New Zealand in the future, Jesse Ryder has an excellent future ahead of him and will represent his country fairly soon I'm fairly sure, and Nick Horsley is also a good player who could be picked in future.

Now, back to the point, I reckon that the best innings ever in ODI cricket came just a week ago, for South Africa against Zimbabwe with Mark Boucher hitting an incredible 147 from just 68 balls, now it may not be as high as some others, but to consistently score at that rate and reach such a high score is excellent, even against Zimbabwe, and it took score past the 400 mark for the second time, and in doing so South Africa became the first team in ODI history to pass the 400 mark twice. Plus another one that sticks in my memory is John Davison's 100 for Canada against the West Indies in the 2003 World Cup, it came up from just 67 balls, the fastest ever world cup century, and an incredible performance considering Canada were bowled out for just 36 by Sri Lanka the previous week, so mine go to Boucher and Davison. See below for the scorecards of these two games.

Boucher (147 from 68 balls):

Davison (111 from 76 balls):

I suppose it could have been but by scoring at over 2 runs per ball for 68 balls is excellent in my opinion.

yeah it is a fine display in terms of hitting but I do believe the value of an innings has been to considered in the context of the game it was played in.

The best one i've ever seen was Shahid Afridi's hundred(100) in just 37 balls with 11 sixes!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

These both were records that havent been broken yet....FASTEST CENTURY AND MOST SIXES IN AN ODI! 

These both records haven't been broken yet!

it was against SriLanka.

Most sixes in an ODI is a joint record of Shahid Afridi and Santh Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya hammered 11 sixes against Pakistan in a 48 ball 100.

I like innings under pressure.

Steve Waugh's 120 under pressure

Jayasaria's 152 under pressure.

The VIV came in with his side in trouble and WI remained in trouble with VIV being the only batsman to worry the bowling side. Best by a mile.

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

189 of the best runs you'll ever see.

Against fair opposition too.

What about the Inzamam's innings of 122 against India two years ago. It came down all the way to six runs of the last ball. Dravid made 99 and India had made 345 and Inzi was under so much pressure. He nearly took Pakistan to victory. The player I fear the most along with Punter.

As dips said, Dravid's innings had to be counted too.

What about Ganguly's 183 along with Dravid who also made 145 in the same game.

When Saeed Anwar made 194, Dravid returned with a valiant 105. That was a good knock too.

Ganguly in the 99 WC slammed 183 agains SL. That was the Ganguly to watch lads! Real great ODI player he was. Its a shame he has lost his touch.

I still think that Kapil Dev's and Viv Richard's knock were the best ever. Under pressure, and Kapil Dev's being a do or die innings during the World Cup which India won.

When Ponting made his century in the 434 match against SA I remember getting all indignant when Miniwarney posted that it was the best one day innings ever, which it blatantly wasn't - and took great pleasure in being able to post a couple of hours later that not only was it not the best one day innings ever, it wasn't even the best innings in the match

Yeah, Ponting's was also good though, we saw two of the best One Day innings of all time in a single match!

The best innings in my view would have to be Vivian Richards 189, absolutely fantastic innings
