Your top 3 Test innings
This question may be as common as "Tendulkar vs Lara" one, but still worth discussing.
Mine are: No.1 - Graham Gooch 154*: I've seen loads of Tendulkars, Laras and Viv Richards, but NEVER seen such a high quality knock played by the three batsmen above. This by far the best. No.2 - VVS Laxman 281. This innings doesn't need an introduction. No.3 - Lara 153* vs Australia. Top quality knock, was very lucky to get dropped twice by Stuart Macgill and also got some good help from Walsh at the other end. But still a champion knock. |

That I've seen:
Ponting 156, Old Trafford Tendulkar 146, Cape Town (I think?) Clarke 151, Cape Town Kind of lame but those are the three that immediately stick in my mind that I've seen the bulk of (which, granted, cuts almost all the candidates)

That I've seen
Bradman 187 vs England 1946 O'Neill 181 vs WI 1960 Walters 155 vs England 1965 (On Debut) If I sat down and thought about it I could probably come up with more but these will do Honourable Mention Joint one Mackay/Kline last wicket partnership for Aus vs WI 1960/61 Series at Adelaide to save the Test

It's hard to pick my top 3, however I'd say the best would be the 158* I scored on a wet deck in Barbados in 1985. Facing the might of the Windies in the mid-80's wasn't easy, especially for an 11 year old.
