A poll like this without including VVS' 281, Gooch's 154 or Kim Hughes' 100 vs WI as options is invalid.
He couldn't remain not out till the end.

Pant's 89 is great but what's that doing here

What? Why is that a criteria for being the greatest inning ever?
That was probably the most improbable century ever. Scored those runs in 77 minutes (estimated to be 76 balls), turned the game on it's head which was supposed to be another obvious defeat, definitely deserves a mention imo.

Also Perera and Stokes innings are great for taking the match situation into account, but in terms of pure batsmanship, I don't think they're really there.
Lara for me combines both

Pant 89 over VVS 281, Botham 149, Gooch 154, Don 270, etc is plain bullcrap

Highly underrated innings nowadays. Certainly one of the classics. Arguably the Classic

Doug Walters himself has couple of knocks better than that I believe
There are series of videos of Ian Chappell talking through some of the most memorable knocks, pretty great imo.

Recency bias imo

VVS, Lara and Kusal are deserved contenders for top 5 imo.

I don't put kusal there, but a fair shout too

Stokes and Kusal as 2 and 1 in 2019 kinda gives the vibe of recency bias

I think 4th innings chases get overrated a bit in general. Match situation is ofc an important factor, but opposition, conditions and just the batsmanship on display in general, should be given more weightage I feel.
