Better 4th innings century in lost cause ?

[Sunil1z]

There have been many great 4th innings centuries in lost cause . Which of these knocks do you rate higher ?

Sanga was never going to win it. Rest had reasonable chances of getting home

Good point. But still feel it was a great knock.

 

[CricAddict]

The Astle 200 also was great.

Who was that random Pakistani number 6 who took a day night test really deep against us in the 4th innings. That was low key epic

 

[subshakerz]

Tendulkar out of this list. It was close to Lara's epic and he was much closer to finishing it.

Others to consider:

Gavaskar 96 against Pakistan
Shafiq 137 against Australia
Hashim Amla's epic 123* at Eden Gardens in 2010

Believe it or not I still watch the highlights of this innings on youtube every year or two, it never seems to grow boring!

Asad Shafiq iirc.

Tendulkar.

Not really a century.

 

[subshakerz]

Not really a century.

True but criminal for it to not be mentioned.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Graeme Smith 154 vs England is up there. His ton at Perth was also special.

Yes that's arguably up there with the Lara Perera stokes knocks for me despite the fact that India lost. Truly insane pitch.

That was in won cause . Otherwise I would have also mentioned Gavaskar 221 against England chasing 438 at Oval.

Oh right lol. Ignore me

This thread is for chokers like Sachin, not chads like Smith

How has no one mentioned Moeen Ali at Headingley 2014 yet? Batting doesn’t get much harder than playing the mid 2010s Sri Lanka side in SENA.

I think we can safely say now it was the innings of his career.

True, but what does the ICC website say about his ODI career?

I looked but I could only find this.
