Oh yes, that is too good, 10 years on and not a single innings in the top 100, suck it up princesses.

Before the ****storm, may I just clarify that Tendulkar has a number of very good innings rated between 10.00 and 16.00, probably more than any other batsman given his longevity; but no truly great innings that would get into the top 100.

Wins x1.3 Close draws x1.15 Draws x1.1 Losses x1 Makes a substantial difference. Only 7 of the top 100 innings were played in ultimately losing causes. |

This is a serious request, albeit a huge ask, but any chance of naming the next 100 best innings, from 101 to 200? That would be very interesting to see, probably just as many great innings.

Laxman's 167 at Sydney is rated too high IMO. The innings didn't achieve anything. Loss was written on the wall. Can't say if a batsman feels a lot f pressure when the outcome of the match is certain one way or the other.
