Any innings where your teams chances of winning the match are far, far higher than it would've been if the innings hadn't happened is of a match winning calibre. The result of the game can still go either way it's dependant on too many other factors.
Agree, though his definition is a better indicator of quality than if you only restrict it to winsNo it can't. It's not a match winning innings if you don't win the match
You can easily filter it to include only tests between the 8 proper sides.Record in losses is unironically a better indicator of a good player than record in wins (the latter being half minnow bashing).
Top 12 (cos thats where 40 hits) using this method (min 20 innings):Record in losses is unironically a better indicator of a good player than record in wins (the latter being half minnow bashing).
Trumper’s 104 was off 105 balls btw. Coincidentally in that same innings, Hill also batted for 115 minutes and 105 balls, for 65.Hundreds for winning team when margin of victory fewer than 10 runs:
Trumper 104 in 115 minutes v England, Old Trafford, 1902
Klusener 118* v Sri Lanka, Kandy, 2000
Kane Williamson 132 v England, Wellington, 2023
Other notable ones:
Won by 11 runs. Jack Ryder 201* and 88 v England, Adelaide, 1925
Won by 12 runs. Hammond 119* and 177 v Australia, Adelaide, 1929
Won by 12 runs. Shahid Afridi 141 v India, Chennai, 1999
Won by 18 runs. Botham 50 and 149* off 148 balls v Australia, Leeds, 1981. (And 7 wickets in match)
Won by 21 runs. Chandimal 155* v Pakistan, Abu Dhabi, 2017
Making a small sample size smaller. Overall record is a much better indicator of how good a player actually is in wins than record in wins itself simply because sample size. We need a @Prince EWS myth-buster on this one.You can easily filter it to include only tests between the 8 proper sides.
Of course. And that would be a completely different categorisation, like "great innings" or something. Not "match-winning" innings, which is objectively wrongAgree, though his definition is a better indicator of quality than if you only restrict it to wins
