One knock is the definition of the word 'domination', while the other is one of the best innigns to win a match.
Touch choice.

Really hard to pick.
I'll go for Bradman, but they are both deserved finalists.

My opinions on this round. Obviously both were great innings to have got this far.
Laras inning was not even the highest in the game and was made to look better due to the weak bating around him and the close circumstances of the game. If someone had stayed with him and the WI had knocked it off for 4 down the innings would not be on this list. Also Walsh was just as much responsible for the victory with his bowling in the Aus 2nd innings.
However, it was a fantastic chase that was all down to Lara and the drama cannot be ignored.
The Bradman innings was in a draw which always devalues an innings unless its a backs to the wall effort. Yet it was amazing given the next highest score was 77.
Possibly Laras best ever innings but I find it hard to vote against Bradman and the way he took apart the attack.
Tough choice, but I think the Bradman innings did a lot to change cricket and build a legend.
Bradman by a hair

Toss a coin time, really. I suppose it the strictest terms Sir Donald's in the more impressive knock when divorced from the circumstances of the game, but I'll so for Lara simply because it more or less singled-handledly dragged his team to victory against, hands down, the best team in the world.
