Mine has to be Michael Vaughans 105 against Sri lanka in Kandy, 2003.

Daren Powell batting more than an hour and Fidel Edwards batting more than half an hour to save WI v England at St. John's last year.

GG's marathon effort in NZ.

You say match saving innings to an Englishman of my age then only 1 thing springs to mind. Athers.

Laxman's 281 vs Australia.

BoyBrumby · 31-01-2010, 09:45 AM

Ponting's @ OT in 2005 must be up there.

slippy · 31-01-2010, 10:01 AM

Mark Waugh 115 not out against south Africa at the Adelaide oval in 1999.

Both saving and winning. He saved it first and then stayed out there to make it a winning knock. He hit that when India were following on.

Haha, Powell's biggest achievement in that innings was being bad enough that none of his horrid attempts at a pull shot actually connected.

Immediately thought of Athers too.
