Best ODI innings in a losing cause

[Fiery]

NZ's best

 

[Jono]

Good call. Incredible innings.

These two were of a similar nature. Not as good a bowling attack obviously.

Funnily enough, that 143 by Sachin in Sharjah was still a 'winning' knock in a way, as it did enough for India to make the final against Australia, and then allowed him to strut his stuff again as we all know.

This was when Bangladesh was an Associate and Zimbabwe was a full Test Nation

Mehrab Hossian 101, Bangladesh's First ODI Centurien

Hey Jono, I bet you've been on cloud 9 the last few days, having been newly crowned?

I told my lecturer at uni tbh, and he let me sit in the front row. Best moment.

haha, did everyone clap or boo?

 

[ramkumar_gr]

Jacob Oram's recent hundred.
Carl Hooper played a couple of them when he toured India in 1993 i guess

 

[Craig]

Michael Bevan in that Asia vs ROW game, even if it weren't an official ODI.

Yeah that was a very remarkable game. Craziest knock.

Melb Uni law students have no emotions. They just ask questions they already know the answer to.

Their only saving grace is the females have nice legs.

Meh, but its so detached. South Lawn > Law Building.

 

[Jono]

Yeah fair call, I haven't had a good "South Lawn" sitdown for a couple of semesters. Miss it.

Law Building is very isolated, as is University Square, the lawn in front of the Law Building.

 

[Richard]

Jono = law student?

Haha is that a subltle attack at my intelligence

Yeah I am doing a double of Law & Commerce, hence why I do some similar subjects to Jack. We go to the same uni.

Tbh I'd like to challenge him to a bit of a hit at the uni cricket nets one day. I'm sure he'd hit the top of my off stump quite often, but it'd be good fun.

 

[Richard]

God nah, I guess the smiley was the best of a bad bunch for expressing what I wanted to. The old :wow: one would have been perfect, shame it's not around any more. or something would be even worse.

Nah, I'm just surprised you're doing such a high-level degree and I hadn't read such a thing before.

 

[_Ed_]

Law Building is very isolated

I wonder if that's the case at every university, at my uni I have to go down a considerably large and steep hill to get to the Law building.

Do they think Law students have trouble with body odour or something?

Common knowledge, TBH.

Definitely would be up for a hit, Jono. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to bomb me, TBH.

 

[Poker Boy]

David Houghton for Zimbabwe (then not a Test country) v NZ in the 1987 WC. He kept wicket, batted at No 3, came in at 8-1 chasing 243, saw his team collapse to 104-7 and then, with help from Butchart, he scored 142 and took the game to the last over. Zim still lost by 3 runs but what a heroic failure - the prototype for several Andy Flower innings in years to come.

 

[i_cricket]

Jacob Oram 100 against Australia in the VB series. Almost took NZ to a win in that match

 

[biased indian]

Tendulkar's 143 @ Sharjah.

Melbourne Uni has nets? Pretty jealous right about now.
