I think it's quite a hard task to define any type of "best" innings, but the one that sticks in my mind was Rory Hamilton-Brown's for surrey against Glamorgan in a rain-affected Pro40 game last year.
115 off 69

Ramps and Davies did'nt do too badly either.

No professional innings of note, but Steve's 73 was something special. We also won this game needing 6 off the last ball :)

Saying that Gareth's innings here was pretty good http://bradleystokecc.play-cricket.com/scoreboard/scorecard.asp?id=11074983 He was just under a run-a-ball for his 50 then decided to go for it :L

Alex Hales's 200 + last year at Derby was one of the best I've seen chanceless knock. Class player and an absolute lad definetely one for the future.

1) Cook and Trott in the 4th ashes test in melbourne- mostly because of the circumstance and ease to crash the aussies to all parts in their own backyard

2) Darren Lehman at Scarborough a few years back. Can't remember who it was against but he destroyed it

Freddie's ton against the Windies at Edge - it was the one when his dad dropped him in the crowd.

This one from last summer was pretty special

http://oldhabs.hitscricket.com/scorecard/fixtureID_127724/1st-XI-v-Bushey-CC-12-Jun-2010.aspx

Akash started the final over of our innings on 182, took a single to long on, got back on strike next ball, hit 2 of the next 3 balls for 6 to get 195, then perished going for his double ton off the last ball.  On a day when noone else got more than 54, and no teammate made more than 26, it was very very special.

Tendulkar's 170 odd against Worcester about a decade ago. He came into the match under pressure with no form and spent the first 2 hours defending. Not a shot in anger. Just playing himself in. A perfect study in concentration. By the end of the day he was playing as well as I'd ever seen anyone play. Seen nothing like it before or since.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

That must have been pretty special seeing the master bat all day.

Hang on he got 195 and then almost got a 5 wicket haul? Did you remind him to buy a lottery ticket after the game :p
