And it should have been an ODI

And it should have been an ODI

Bevan was the world XI in that game. He split the two teams in half.

 

[ImpatientLime]

the world xi bowling attack in that game never fails to make me smile. its almost like they were picked from a hat.

 

[slippy888]

Did anyone really focus in these world 11 vs Asia games, it seemed a friendly type game

 

[fredfertang]

Robin Smith's unbeaten 167 against Australia at Edgbaston in 1993 - sadly not enough to enable us to win the game though

 

[ma1978]

Viv Richards - 189 and 2/45

Kapil Dev - 175 and 1/32

Aravinda - 1996 World Cup Semifinal and Final (he got the century in the final but the semifinal was an even more brilliant innings}

SRT - Desert Storm innings

Ricky Ponting - 2003 World Cup Final

Adam GIlchrist - 2011 World Cup Final

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sunil Gavaskar - 36 (174 balls; 1x4)

Sunil Gavaskar - 36 (174 balls; 1x4)

Excellent call

 

[honestbharani]

Kris Srikkanth 38 in the 1983 WC final. Hooking the quartet for 6s for fun.

A great knock but having watched that game I dont think the players were treating it that seriously.

 

[AndrewB]

Barry Richards, Hampshire v Yorkshire, John Player League 1970.
He scored 155*, which, if it wasn't the List A record at the time, was pretty close. The other batsmen (on both teams) scored a total of 113, with none of them reaching 20. (Yorkshire managed 74-9 off their 40 overs; I think it's fair to say you wouldn't see bowling figures of 7-7-0-2 and 8-4-6-2 in a List A match very often).

Similarly dominant was Sanath Jayasuriya, SL v India, Sharjah, 2000, scoring 189 while the other batsmen on both teams scored a total of 136. He did at least have Russel Arnold scoring 52 alongside him.

Symonds 143* v Pak, 2003 World Cup

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It makes sense. But it doesn't work now. It's beyond that.

No, no...it was a once-in-a-lifetime knock.

No

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Ross Taylor 2018 innings of 181* off 147 balls vs England chasing 335. Came in at 2/2, injured himself so couldn't run after completing his 100 against the no 1 ODI side in the world, and led the chase brilliantly.

 

[subshakerz]

I do think Tendulkars 98 against Pakistan in 2003 should be up there as his best knock. A lot of pressure in that match. If only Razzaq took that catch!

That's the one I was going to go for that wasn't mentioned here yet. It was a very risky one for Sachin, but he decided to go after it. Set the tone.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This razzaq ton is a personal favourite of mine.

 

[OverratedSanity]

If we're counting gully cricket format, Samuels in 2012 final and Kohli vs Australia in 2016 also up there.
