all these great inn. you guys have mentioned have a common dominator, its more than likely to be in the 2nd inn. and your team is 3 or 4 down for next to nothing, and the batsem is either 4-5 or 6. and chasing down a large sum. abnd a match of some importance.

All of the WC final innings - Lloyd, Richards, Ponting & Gilchrist - were in the 1st innings. So was Richards' great innings against England in 1984. Apart from that .... :)

Taking into account the circumstances Steve Waugh's match winning century in the Super 6's match against South Africa in the 1999 World Cup was as good any other in it's way. Without it the Aussies were on their way out. (Yes I know Billy Bunter will point to the dropped chance and say half the innings doesn't count, but it WAS a great innings.)

No, it wasn't. It was a wholly average one, and not fit to rank remotely close to any of the chanceless innings mentioned so far.

How about Kennedy Obuya's often overlooked half century at the top of the order against the Lankans in the '03 World Cup. Without it that match would have had a very different result plus it symbolically represented the foundation of the game off which Kenya's 'glorious campaign was built.

Well going to games doesn't seem to have taught you the fact that hitting the ball in the air to a fielder on 50-odd means you're not often going to play the best ODI innings of all-time, so I'd not get your hopes up too far.

Thanks man, sorry if I was specific enough.

Knocks which come to mind are the one against SL earlier this year and I recall a great one against India a couple of years ago.

I know there are many more, but there's a start.

I would say his 37 baller when he was 16 was pretty special
