20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

[Sunil1z]

Wasn’t this a T20I?

Assume it as an ODI game that got over in 20 overs . Meaningless Facts shouldn’t come in the way of celebrating greatness of Final of Nidahas trophy which is played after 20 years unlike WC which is played every 4 years

Yes, I get the grandeur & significance of the Trophy...but still is not an ODI.

Waqar Younis turns the match on its head

I was looking at the scorecards from that series last night, and thought that game could be a good shout for a list of best ODIs.

There was also a game where SA beat WI by four runs, when WI was chasing 141.

Have fond memories of that series, I'd just really fallen in love with cricket, and like any romance, always most exciting at the beginning.

Waqar played a similar role in that game Jayasuriya made 50 in 17 balls and they still lost chasing some mid 100s score.

Why the hell does it say Singer Cup "1995/96". It happened in April 96, smack in the middle of the year.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Middle of the year is June-July-August last time I checked

It was end of the glorious Singapore summer of cricket that season.

That's just ****ing insane. Totally crazy knock for 1996, and they lost.

Kaluwitharana was out for a duck, making the score 70–1.

this is the ground, jayasuriya apparently hit one onto the steps of the parliament (blue dome) that day

It was end of the glorious Singapore summer of cricket that season.

In fact, I believe it was that magnificent Singaporean summer which led Tim David's parents to steer their new born son towards cricketing mediocrity.

Not just a duck though.. think it was a 17 ball 0 or something


And he was supposed to be more of a dasher than even Sanath
