Quite a few of Sachin's knocks. Sachin Tendulkar's 136 test knock vs Pakistan, ODI knocks of 143 at Sharjah and 175 vs Australia. So many others as well.

Ben Abbott's ton in the second T20 match on Sunday right up there.

Ponting 200 in Adelaide was a good 'un.

Warne in the 2005 Ashes probably the best I've seen. Bloke was ridiculous in that entire series with bat and ball.

Rahul Dravid in England in 2011 was great - India lost the four match series 4-0 but Dravid was a man amongst boys that whole tour. This image which I post at least once a month is from that series:





Warne in Ashes 2005 (only lost that series because of lack of McGrath).

It was always another inferior batsman who screwed up the winning chance in all those 3 losses. Jadeja during 175, Laxman during 143 and Mongia and co. during 136.

The 143 was a rough chase anyways and even when he got out it was not like we were in an easy win situation. Chennai obviously was bad but for some reason watching the game live on day 5 at the ground, it always felt like an inevitable defeat even when Sachin was going well. That 175, he left us needing 18 off 18 in the noughties ODI game with the powerplay rules and all that and yet we found a way to lose. It just hurts the worst.

Probably sums up his career tbh. Almost but not quite, largely due to his team mates.
