Battle of the test innings played by batsmen currently less than 30 years old

[morgieb]

Does Khawaja count? He was under 30 when the battle started, but has turned 30 since then.

Anyway, Chandimal and Brathwaite. Khawaja's was very good too, but I think Brathwaite's was a bit more unique (Chandimal will probably take the whole thing out). Williamson's knock was great to watch, but in the end it was a bit of a root in asia, on a rather flat wicket.

Yesss, the CW dialect is becoming a thing

Chandimal
Williamson

Going with Williamson as that's one of the best examples of a batsman who seems to be playing on a different pitch against a different attack to everyone else that I can remember.

Pujara and Williamson the standouts. One a match-defining knock in a low-scoring game, the other a match-saving knock that set up a win.

Pujara
Agar - never been as excited/incredulous watching an innings in Test cricket.
