Best losing performance you have seen?

[Fuller Pilch]

Bert Sutcliffe at Ellis Park in 1953 would have to rate pretty highly.

The correct answer is Stoinis in that ODI in New Zealand.

Not even the best losing performance by an Australian in odis.

Nathan bracken took 5 wickets for 67 in his 10 overs in the 438 game.

Faulkner's 100 in the Rohit Sharma double hundred match is a good shout.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jim Burke for his 22 in Laker's match and for being dismissed by Lock to deny Laker his 20-fer. Good job.

That was a pretty epic performance but who else has hit 140 and taken 3 wickets in a losing cause?

 

[_Ed_]

Hayden's 181* was also pretty remarkable - the last 40 or so with a broken toe, IIRC?

Mankad's test match.

Daniel Vettori on a 5th day raging turner against Murali and Herath.

40 overs 3 for 100, 23, 2 for 62 off 24, then 140 on the last day

EDIT: And trying to captain and carry a totally outclassed side

Mankad's test match.

Batted against Trueman, Bedsar and Laker in English conditions. Wow!

 

[h_hurricane]

Mankad batted 408 minutes in the match and went on to bowl 97 overs. An effort of gargantuan proportions. What a hero !

 

[honestbharani]

I guess they did have rest days in test matches back then. But still, Iron Man performance..

 

[stephen]

I was implying ODIs and not tests. Very few players appear on the 100 runs + 4 wickets list. I know Stoinis only got three wickets but having one of the top 20 highest scores in an ODI loss combined with the best bowling figures for his side is insane.

For ODI performances, Jadeja in the recent WC SF must be up there.

It was the way he got them too. Essentially Ben Stokes/Perera style but just fell short

 

[vcs]

Warner played a brilliant knock against SA in this WC. Pretty much kept them in it single-handedly. And oh, Braithwaite against the Kiwis was awesome too.

 

[OverratedSanity]

For ODI performances, Jadeja in the recent WC SF must be up there.

Arguably the best batsman, bowler and fielder from either side in that game. Saved so many runs in the field.

 

[vcs]

Starc against NZ in the group game in WC 2015. Brought them back into it from absolutely nowhere.

 

[vcs]

This is one of Tendulkar's best ever knocks, was scoring well above 50% of the team's runs when he got out. Genius strokeplay.

 

[ankitj]

My all time favourite. Perfectly epitomizes Indian ODI cricket in 90s. India was 60/2 in 12.1 overs when Tendulkar got his 50 in 41 balls with 8 fours and 1 six.
