4th Quarter Final - New Zealand v West Indies (21st March)

[Gnske]

Not making it better.

No one likes a sour puss

 

[Athlai]

Greatest ODI knock of all time.

 

[kiwiviktor81]

That is the greatest innings I have ever seen in an ODI.

 

[Adders]

Can't wait to hear Hurricanes report later today/tomorrow...........what a lucky **** to be there for this!!

 

[morgieb]

Best ODI innings of all time? Yes IMO.

 

[ankitj]

Not as good as Rohit.

Nah, gun knock. Seals the semi final spot.

 

[viriya]

NZ chokes and fails to get 400.. Gayle to chase this with 5 overs to spare..

 

[straw man]

Just incredible. Amazing innings.

 

[nevermind]

Lost for words. One of the best innings ever. Well done Martin Guptill!

 

[Mike5181]

Guptill's average is over 40 now.

 

[silentstriker]

Look, I love New Zealand and I am rooting for them to win it all if India can't, and this was one of the best innings I've ever seen....but this is stupid. It no longer feels like a legitimate contest between bat and ball.

[Tangles]

Gun innings but man this is just not about a contest between bat and ball. It's home runs for the fans.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Better than 281 imo

 

[halba]

Best ODI innings of all time? Yes IMO.

do we consider the quality of the opposition / state of the pitch when assessing this?

 

[Antihippy]

And new Zealanders call Australian pitches roads.

 

[ankitj]

Best ODI innings of all time? Yes IMO.

Looking at how often the big scores are being made in first innings, I'd have to think best innings of all time would have to be one in a successful chase.

388

Not far off

Yeah I agree, not the occasion to bring something like this up, I just wish the balance was there so I can enjoy this knock even more than I have.

Yeah ICC need to ban Guptill from playing.
