maybe... but for sheer pressure, 189 is obviously better.. I mean, he had Michael Holding for company.. :laugh:


EDIT: Also, most quotes about Sachin by Indians has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Unfortunately, either reports misquote or people themselves go overboard... The fact that he is such a likeable chap also plays its part, I reckon.
Thats a plus for Holding, not Richards. For sheer pressure, I'll take Gibbs' 175 over both.

What about Tendulkar's 175 vs Australia? Gibbs atleast benefited from some backup while it was a solo effort that next best score was 40(?)
No, you are not allowed to rate an innings played by Tendulkar. All Indians are fanboys.

Haha, flat pitches/small ground clause also I guess


Jeez, over reaction much? Wanna know my thoughts on said innings? try reading those match threads... 8-)



And yes, Sachin is better than Bradman and we should all fall at his feet and get his blessings.. 8-) Otherwise, you are not an objective viewer and simly wanna call all Indians fanboys...

Not really. It was obvious Gibbs was simply "having a go" at the beginning. The real pressure in the match came right towards the end and Boucher handled it superbly.. So that is a plus for Boucher, not Gibbs... Get it?

Was not having a go at you honestbharani :p

Both are extremes. But one is caused by positive adulation while th other by negative jealousy.

Yeah, you're not having an over reaction at all. Stop behaving like Pratters. It wasn't aimed at you.

lol.. sorry about that.. But seriously, I think Sachin is the best in ODIs.. He is the Bradman of ODIs but I still think that Richards innings is better than any other ODI knock I have ever seen. Bevan's 185 odd against Asia comes close but it was not an official ODI and there didn't seem to be the same sort of pressure...

How about Kapil dev's 175 not out against Zimbabwe in the 1983 world cup.

175 not out of 132 ball out of am team score 266 with the next highest score being 24.

And not the flattest of wickets either.
And not too forget in a world cup match and a do or die one.What a Innings!!!!
