[subshakerz]

Which are the Better Knocks

Tendulkar, 114 Aus 92 vs Lara, 277 Aus 93

Kim Hughes, 100* WI 81 vs Sehwag, 201* SL 2008

Fredericks, 169 Aus 75 vs Gilchrist, 149 Pakistan 99

Gooch, 154 WI 91 vs Stokes, 149 Aus 2019

Waugh's twin tons, Eng 97 vs Dravid twin fifties, WI 2006

Clarke, 151 SA 2011 vs Azhar Mahmood, 132 SA 98

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

The easy choices are:

Fredericks 169(the most destructive vs peak Lillee abs Thomson in Aus)
Gooch WI infinite times better than Stokes

Steve Tikolo's 222 against Holland in the Intercontinental Cup

Fredericks 169(the most destructive vs peak Lillee abs Thomson in Aus)
Gooch WI infinite times better than Stokes

What about the others?

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Will think more and get back to you on them

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Sehwag 201 maybe cause a destructive double on a minefield against Murali and Mendis. In 1981 Marshall wasn’t peak Marshall.
Lara 277, big score and against Warne.
Clarke 151, destructive on a horrid pitch vs Steyn, Philander and Morkel

Waugh's twin tons, Eng 97 vs Dravid twin fifties, WI 2006

Clarke, 151 SA 2011 vs Azhar Mahmood, 132 SA 98

Lara 277> Tendulkar 114. Better one to watch though the pitch was a road.

Hughes 100> Sehwag 201. Probably the toughest test innings of all time considering pitch and the opposition.

Gooch 154> Stokes 135(I think this is what you meant). Stokes was great but Gooch's innings has a stronger argument for being the single greatest innings of all time.

Dravid fifties > Waugh twin tons. That pitch was atrocious and ideal for a guy like Taylor to cause problems.

Clarke 151> Mahmood 132. Mahmoods innings though great had several more moments of good fortune. Clarke's was maybe the best innings I've ever watched live in terms of how one batsman looked like he was batting on a completely different pitch as the others. Insane knock and is underrated because of how Australia collapsed later.

Thanks. I think Tendulkars was more exceptional though given he was a teen and a tough pitch I have never seen a better innings in terms of strokeplay than Lara's.

Waugh's knocks were on a pretty tough pitch too so I think it's close.

What about Fredericks vs Gilly?
