Best peice of batting from a individual in the last year.

[Cameron-Moss]

My best peice of batting in the last year has to be Paul Collingwood when he scored 300 in Australia

Nominate them now, please say who the batsmen is, and where abouts in the world the peice was done

Hmm. Top of my head Adam Gilchrist in the World Cup Final.

 

[Cameron-Moss]

Have to agree that was good.

And Gilly at the WACA for sheer entertainment value.

I heard he batted well, Didn't get to see it though, I tried to stay awake but fell asleep.

Yeah that was awesome too!

 

[Cameron-Moss]

Another one was Ponting when he was the first one to reach 3 figures in the Ashes Series, not my favourite but a good one. Btw why are most of the people mentioned Aussies. :S

Well there has only been a couple of people who have given there opinion so far.

2 people from Australia chose an Aussie and you chose an English, go figure.

 

[Cameron-Moss]

Good point

 

[andyc]

Shiv Chanderpaul deserves a mention for his efforts in England. Arguably the very best this year IMO.

 

[Cameron-Moss]

He good he put up a strong battle, btw what does IMO meen???

It was 'only' 206 actually - if he'd made 300 we wouldn't have lost - but I think I agree. Given the state of the series and quality of the opposition.

IMO = in my opinion.

Thanks, :O Yeah it was the PC and KP partnership which was 300 wasn't it?

 

[Dasa]

Sangakkara's hundreds in New Zealand were up there imo. Lara's double hundred in this match, and Yousuf's twin hundreds in the following Test were very good as well.

 

[The_Bunny]

Off the top of my head and approximately in order

Adam Gilchrist Wc Final v sri Lanka

Shiv Chanderpaul 3rd test v England

Paul Collingwood 2nd Test v Australia

Adam Gilchrist 3rd Test v England

Matthew Hayden 3rd Odi v New Zealand

This is only the ones I have watched so there will be some glaring ommisions.

 

[Xuhaib]

Mo Yo 82 vs SA in 3rd test at Cape Town on a lively green track.

 

[Turbinator]

Rahul Dravid in the 4th Test against the WIndies.

 

[Richard]

In Tests a few that come to mind are Sangakkara's twin tons in NZ as Dasa mentioned (could easily be undervalued because of the low-key nature of the series); Kevin Pietersen's 142 against Lanka at Edgbaston (just over a year ago, but fits IMO), Gilchrist's blitzkreig at The WACA and Collingwood's double-century at Adelaide Oval. Hard to say definitively that any of those were the best TBH, but if I had to choose I'd go for Sangakkara.

In ODIs the Gilchrist knock in the WC final or the Jayasuriya dissection of England's excuse for a bowling-attack at Headingley last summer stand-out above all for me. Grudging mention, obviously, to the Hayden 18whatever-it-was*.

Richard totally off-topic but how did you become a accidental founder of Twenty20 cricket is boring society, it says anybody who posts in here will automatically become a member of the society so why did you say that if it was accident?

 

[Richard]

It was deliberate from that thread onwards, but that the idea (and hence the thread) came about by accident, as a result of discussion in another thread.

BTW, you'd have done better to quote my sig than that post to say that.
