An idea,what if we had each innings represented by a forum member?and at the start of the respective innings battle they have to write baout why it was so good and why people should vote for it?

I'm going for Greame Smith

People could easily make their own comments on any innings they happy to feel strongly about, which would work just as well.

vs.

Brian Lara's 375 v England, St John's, 1994

[FaaipDeOiad]

Botham.

More difficult conditions, better bowling attack, FAR more pressure, and it was a match-winner. Pretty easy pick for me.

Botham

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Botham.

 

[Beleg]

Lara.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

Botham. May have scored less than half of what Lara scored, but the circumstances more than make up for that.

 

[Blaze]

Lara. World Records are special.

 

[chooka_nick]

Hmm, I'll go Lara. Weight of runs.

 

[Zinzan]

Botham marginally, due to being the catalyst for one of the great turnarounds of all time.

Incidently...I'm too late now, by I'm suprised nobody mentioned Flemings 274* against Murali in Sri Lanka.
