Batsmen and the chase

cant believe no one remembered lara's 153*.
I did mention it- i am not talking in Richard-esque fashion about first chance or second chance or whatever, i am merely noting that almost all batsmen have bolloxed up near the very end -ie, lost concentration and given a chance or two....

There's around 20-25 instances in test history of a player making an undefeated century in a successful fourth innings chase, I was looking at them last night. Some quite remarkable and famous ones, and a few which were like 104* out of 1/190 or something. Still, it's not an unheard of feat.

Oh, and TEC, I think C_C did mention Lara's in the first post, but discounted it because he gave a chance before the end.
wel 4th innings chases itself dont happen very often(except chasing small totals), and more often than not the chase would involve at least 2-3 batsman playing well instead of just one. so its not incredibly likely that too many players get the chance to chase a total almost singlehandedly in the 4th innings.
