If you're looking to randomise an order, the easiest thing to do is use RANDOM.ORG - Sequence Generator.

Not even the best innings in that test, tbh

---

Damien Martyn 101, Jo'burg 06

Ricky Ponting 143*, SCG 06 (2nd innings)

 

[vcs]

Can someone nominate Martyn's 100 in the 2nd innings of the Chennai 2004 Test now that I've exhausted mine..

 

[Xuhaib]

I will do the Pakistani ones

Anwar and Azhar here

 

[Jono]

Probably one of Gayle's IPL knocks

 

[Xuhaib]

Kakmal 113

Miandad 102

Afridi 141 Can't believe this idiot thought he can't play test cricket dominated Kumble like no ever did to him in India.

 

[marc71178]

Pathan
Agarkar
Kumble
Harbhajan


How good a bowlilng line up this would be? It will give us solid batting depth as well..

Arguably not as good as the current attack (although it depends which Harbhajan you pick)

[Outswinger@Pace]

I can't talk about the ones that I haven't seen live, tbh! I've already listed the best knocks I've seen (not necessarily hundreds) in this post.

One knock that I would give an arm and a leg to see live is Graham Gooch's 154* in Leeds, 1991 against a pace attack dispatched from hell by Satan. I've seen a few video highlights and having read enough about it, I'm convinced it has to rank right up there. Gooch WAFG!

 

[fredfertang]

Ian Botham's 149* at Headingley in 1981

Ian Botham's 118 at Old Trafford in 1981

[Spikey]

Lara 226, the innings which he broke Border's record.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/226348.html

perhaps it's the lead up to the innings doing it. He'd done nothing at all in the 2 tests before and I think people were even saying he was done..? and then bam

Trevor Franklin, 101
2nd Test England at Lord's, 1990
