Rohit Sharma 161 against England 2nd Test Chennai this year

Axar Patel bowling in 2nd, 3rd , 4th Test against Eng this year in IND( check only those who you feel might make Top 100 list )

@Days of Grace
Did none of this made cut off ?

 

[Days of Grace]

also damaged by strike-rate not factoring into the rating system

Strike-rate is factored in.

Would think the Rohit innings has to be close to the top 100

 

[Starfighter]

It's interesting that Dudley Nourse's superlative 231 in Johannesburg in 1935 makes the list, but Stan McCabe's even more celebrated innings from the same Test doesn't (though it's understandable as Nourse made more runs against a better attack).

@Days of Grace what were the ratings of McCabe's three classics - the 187*, 189* and 232? They're probably all hamstrung a little by the fact that, despite the peaks of batsmanship he scaled in all three innings, Australia won none of those matches.

I'd suggest it might be because the SA bowling attack wasn't all that crash hot.

Sharma's innings of 161 just missed the cut (14.69)

None of Axar Patel's performances made the top 100. The best of them (6/38 & 5/32 at Ahmedabad) were tied on 12.40.

Kyle mayers vs bangladesh or either of pant's 4th innings knocks in aus?

 

[Days of Grace]

Pant's 97 in the Sydney draw: 10.34
Pant's 89* in the Brisbane win: 12:11

Kyle Mayers' knock though made the top 100!

What’s the rating for jack hobbs 93 not out in 4th innings against sa in matting wickets.Which was in sa in 1910,3rd test?

 

[mr_mister]

Does Michael Slater's 123 out of 180 odd rank highly? I think it came in a win and was scored quickly

 

[Migara]

What is odd is that 6/ top 20 are from Sri Lankan batsmen. and some of them are not even classical test bats at all!

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm surprised Mathews' 160 at headingley isn't one of the sl innings here. Great innings.

 

[Xix2565]

Going by DoG's current list, looks like the No. 1 position went Bannerman 165* -> Bradman 270 -> Botham 149* -> Gooch 154* -> Lara 153* -> Laxman 281.

Not a bad list to be in.

 

[mr_mister]

I love how pretty much every ton scored in the 19th century is a decent shot at making the list due to team totals being so low back then

I bet every time someone tonned up the next highest score was like 20

 

[ankitj]

14 out of top 15 are from post 1980. That's interesting. Over representation?

Better quality of bowling attack. Even CW's top 15 fast bowlers are mostly from post 1980.

Decade wise breakup of top 100 innings:

1870 1
1880 2
1890 4
1900 3
1910 0
1920 0
1930 10
1940 0
1950 5
1960 4
1970 4
1980 8
1990 10
2000 25
2010 20
2020 4

Take out Bradman and 1930s have 4.

 

[mr_mister]

Interesting that Steve Waugh doesn't make the list at all, as he was known for 'clutch' tons.

I guess two things going against him, the clutchest ton he ever got was in an ODI WC, and most of his clutch test tons were scored in ashes series against weak bowlers. Still, surprised his 200 against '95 WI is nowhere to be found

how does that compare to number of tests played in each decade

 

[mr_mister]

Or centuries scored each decade
