What are the best ODI innings ever?

[TheJediBrah]

Does that Ashraful ton in Cardiff against the Mighty Aussies merit a consideration?

I can't see why not. The bowling had McGrath, Kasprowicz and Hogg who were all World-class at that time and I don't think the famous Aussie night-out before the game would have affected them that much

Ian Harvey's 48* is surely a contender for GOAT ODI innings.

I would repeatedly watch Sachin's 98 for that backfoot defense shot off Akhtar's 154 kph ball going for four.

Just watched it again. Goosebumps.

He followed it up with a 50 ball 90 against England as well

For a brief moment people must have thought he was gonna be Bangas' Andy Flower or something

Ricky Ponting's 2003 knock stands tall here.

Clive Lloyd’s best on radio.

Not enough love for one-legged Ross Taylor against England imo, even if it was a JAMODI in the T20 era and all that jazz

Clive Lloyd’s 102 off 85 balls(SR=120) in the 1975 World Cup Final is underrated.

(1) Viv Richards 189/170: No need to expand
Rest in no order:
Kapil 175, Lloyd 102(85), Kohli 183(probably the best innings in a chase ever, scored more than 50% of runs in a 320+ chase, against a very good attack, and paced his innings really well)

Best ODI innings is kind of a very subjective discussion.

If I had to choose personal favourites, it's probably all of Rohit's double hundreds for comedy value. Those scores had a mixture of insane timing and comically bad bowling.
