Calm down and stop acting like he committed a terrible crime.

That's it! Until now, I used to take credit because it made me look cool but now you're trying to portray me as a douche. I'm about to drop a shocker on CW.
It was np10.

Aye, it was in his (inaccurate) birthday thread back when he was primarily a troll.It was np10.

but saying it was best of the best ever was pushing a fair bit imho so i can understand where Perm's coming from.
I was inclined to laugh myself.

You did not watch the innings so how can you say that there are dozen innings better than that, If that innings was played by say a Tendulkar or Ganguly, it would have been declared as one of the best ever.
Kamran Akmal's was a great inning and I dont know if it is one of the top 5 innings in the history of Pakistan Cricket, I dont know so much about Pakistani batting history. I sure wouldn't bet against it and wouldn't be surprised if it is indeed in top 5.

I scored a pretty damn fine 81 the other day.

I was referring to the second quoted post. Didn't see the need for so many people attacking him after you had already pointed out his mistake without making a fuss.

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Dean Jones 210 in the tied Test at Chennai in 86/87 is one of the best of my lifetime. And Mark Waugh's 116 to win the series in South Africa in 96-97 is an often overlooked gem.
Botham's 118 against us in the 81 series might have been his greatest innings (despite his Headingly miracle 149* getting more hype). Hammond's 240 against Australia in 1938 was by all accounts an absolute masterclass, and considered by Bradman to be up there with the McCabe (232) and Sobers (254) efforts for the best he ever saw.
And a mention to Keith Miller's 185 for the Dominions XI against England at Lord's in 1945 which still gets all who were alive to see it a little misty-eyed.
In ODIs, two of my personal favourites are Viv's 189* against England in 1984, and AB's 127* against Marshall and Garner in their prime in 1984-85.

I thought that was just for the other battle thread, whereas in this one we were just discussing the great knocks through history? Or have I read that wrong?

Extremely debateable.

Pretty sure you've read it wrong mate, as nightprowler10 decided to start the battle thread after getting some inspiration from this thread, which is actually seperate.
