Battle of the Test Innings

Gooch

 

[honestbharani]

Botham innings deserves a few more votes.

So I am going for Botham.

 

[SJS]

Gooch for the quality of the attack.

No disgrace to Botham to be bracketted with this lot :-

Charles Bannerman
Don Bradman
Stan McCabe
Hanif Mohammad
Graham Gooch
Brian Lara
VVS Laxman

And we are told he couldn't bat or something to that effect

 

[GIMH]

Well I vote Botham, nothing more than a consolation prize

Quite possibly the first time I've voted against any of Gooch's innings LOL

Gooch wins it 11-3

Very sneaky, silentstriker. Rigging the links so one can only see the Laxman innings

LOL, oops. It was a mistake. Really.


Fixed now. What's your vote by the way?

 

[andyc]

This is probably the toughest choice so far. Laxman's innings was the innings that defeated Australia for the first time in 16 tests. A far from shabby attack of McGrath-Gillespie-Kasprowicz-Warne, a huge amount of runs (and a 59 in the first innings) after following on, and a victory for his team. McCabe's innings, on the other hand, was during Bodyline, and no other Australian passed 50, whilst Laxman did have Dravid at the other end. Very hard decision, but I guess it's Laxman in the end, won't be surprised to see it make the final. Bit harsh on McCabe, though.
