Better 4th innings century in lost cause ?

Sangakkara;s, because he was not actually out and could have even won the game, even though the chances were slim.

Sanga was never going to win it. Rest had reasonable chances of getting home

Australia won by 96 runs only. Another 40- 50 more, the panic would have set in.

How has no one mentioned Moeen Ali at Headingley 2014 yet? Batting doesn’t get much harder than playing the mid 2010s Sri Lanka side in SENA.

I think we can safely say now it was the innings of his career.

That was a good innings tbf, and from a player who rarely delivers in a crisis.

Never know. What I recall was that they started 5the day 3 down with 250 odd to get and lost five in a heap and needed around 200 still so game was done basically. They still needed around 150 when the 9th fell. My point being it was too much certainly compared to others in that list

That was a top knock. Not an easy pitch to bat on

No one has mentioned Wade’s heroic century at the Oval in 2019.

Voted for Sanga's 192. Vettori's 140 on a 5th day Colombo pitch vs Murali and Herath was pretty decent.

Never mind on this site, are there any Warner fans anywhere.

IIRC Jayawardene got a jaffa first ball as well. If he'd stuck around it could well have been different. Sanga was on another level in that game.
