It's been 7 years since the last one, so why not?

Nominate away. Won't run this straight away, I will start it on the 7th August. Someone to remind me, as I may forget :p

Some good ones:

Brian Lara 153* at Barbados, 1999 (vs Australia)
VVS Laxman 281 at Kolkata, 2001 (vs Australia)
Michael Clarke 151 at Johannesburg, 2011 (look at Australia's second innings score and South Africa's first innings score!)
Graham Gooch 154* at Headingley, 1991 (vs West Indies)
Ian Botham 149* at Headingley, 1981 (vs Australia)

More to come when I can think of them.

That's not how every other replayed battle has worked.
It'll just end up like the previous one with a few new additions which is a bit boring. The few new additions are what makes the battle interesting so we may as well just focus on them. That's just me of course.

BotM is a lot different because even older posters can change.

Tim McIntosh - 136 vs. West Indies @ Napier 2008.

Going on to make 136 after being dropped giving fielders catching practice half a dozen-ish times. What a temperament!

International Captain
Mark Greatbatch - 146* vs. Australia @ Perth 1989.

The prick batted for 11 hours to save the test.

I guess he didn't play like a dick then :p
Greatbatch was always a bit of a dick. Although I watched him hit Waqar Younis straight back over his head for six first ball of an ODI once, so he wasn't a complete dick. Waqar was pushing off from the boundary fence and bowling at ludicrous speed. Fun days.
