We'll have debate for sure, but I find it hard to see how anyone can go past Gibbs' innings.
For starters, regardless of the context, 175 off 111 is one the most statistically impressive ODI innings ever, if not THE most impressive. It's one of the highest scores ever made, and it's made at a ludicrous rate.
Furthermore, it was against the best team of the modern era, in a series decider.
And it was made chasing the highest score ever. And the major contribution in beating the highest winning chase ever by over 100 runs.
I personally believe it's an easy winner.
