Brian Charles Lara Sydney double hundred back in 1993 i think however i also seen him score a century at the port of spain which was very very special.

they ruined the SCG when they scrapped the bank

Brian Charles Lara Sydney double hundred back in 1993 i think however i also seen him score a century at the port of spain which was very very special.

I think the only innings' that could top seeing Lara's double in Sydney or 2 centuries on his home ground in Trinidad would have to be seeing either of the 375, 400*, or 501*.

I think this was Lara's greatest knock...

I watched this on the TV - it was astonishing

Sir Viv Richards' 189 against England, in the 1984 Texaaco Trophy.

scorecard here:

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/64976.html

His innings was amazing, against everyone else, England bowled well, Richards made them look very, very ordinary. The other amazing fact was that the ninth wicket went down at 166, so he and Holding put on over 100 in an unbroken stand.

[Mafito89]

Forgot about that 153* in barbados...

He's really had some brilliant knocks over the years and had a good few left in him when he retired.

Gilchrist missing out on the fastest test hundred ever by one ball at the WACA.

[Mr Cricket]

cant believe that this was back in 2008!

Chanderpaul's timing of the ball on this day was incredible, i remember a particular shot he gave a whip of the wrists and it sailed miles back over mid wicket. not a famous or iconic innings, but for a real cricket fan a special one to watch in the rain with his team falling around him.

Haven't been to many games, so I'll have to go with Chris Gayle flaying Australia at the World Twenty20 in 2009.

[ianbuchanan]

Chris Gayle is a great shout in that T20, some mighty blows that day.....!

[Chaim]

Gayle's 90 odd vs India in the 2010 t20wc was a gem

[PedalsMcgrew]

Gordon Greenidge hitting 170 something in a 40 over game at the old county ground in Southampton against Surrey. He smashed two windows in the flats at mid wicket, lost two balls over one of the straight boundaries and hit one over the pavillion, over the road outside and onto the bowling green opposite the ground...

Just utter destruction and confirmed my love of cricket.

Athertons matchsaving 170 odd against the Saffers a few years back with that awesome spell from Allan Donald was pretty special too. Not as exciting but very, very brave....

[procricket]

one of my favourite batters mate there when with Desmond in full flow

[TommO]

Probably both Trotts and Broads tons at lords, when amir tore through England within the first hour of play! This is also the test where all the spot fixing occurred.
