ooh flintoff smashing a ton at Lords against the Saffers in a loosing cause (remember the broken woodworm bat photo - that innings - Glorious sunshine at lords, everyone SMASHED and Freddie causing a riot)
Moody and Hick demolishing Warickshire in a B&H cup final both were 90odd not out at the end
Michael Vaughan 150 at Sydney against the Aussies at their Peak
Steve Waughs career saving ton in the same game

I am sure there are more...

If I remember correctly in 1996 I saw Sanath Jayasuria smashing the fastest 100 (at the time) off 57 balls at the Singapore Cricket Club. Hot day on a small ground and Sanath just went mad!

Hick scoring about 100 off 60 odd balls at Kidderminster in a pro40 I think it was. Also Vaughan scoring a century against WI at Headingley.

I witnessed a Marcus Trescothick 120 on Saturday.

yeah, was a close one! at Kidderminster the boundaries are a bit shorter, but still you need to go at a fair rate to do that.

I havent been to many first class or international games, so I would have to say Mike Hussey's 195 in last year's first ashes test at the Gabba. I went day 2 and 3 and wasnt going to go after day 2, but I thought I would kick myself if he got 200 and I didnt see it. He ended up getting 195, but still a great knock.

Saw Allan Border bring up his 200 against England at Headingley in 1993.

Saw all of Strauss' ton against Australia at Old Trafford in 2005.
