Name the 5 best innings of your favourite batsmen in ODI cricket (shameless rip off)
- Thread starter mr_mister
- Start date
Flem274*
123/5
had a clutch champions trophy knock too. was probably dropped too soon from the squad in his first stint with the side, when tbh he was always one of the best one day cricketers in the country.
one day i'll go through his career thoroughly.
edit - i see he was a victim of that random odi series bangladesh absolutely smoked us in during 2010, then he was recalled in 2013 for those middle of the night midwinter meme odis in the subcontinent we used to play where we'd send out anton devcich and rob nicol to face kumar sangakkara etc and he didn't do very well.
recalled again in 2015 and rest is history

First Class Debutant
BMac
1. 86* (91) vs Australia 2007
Chappell Hadlee game 3, chasing down 350. Still my favourite BMac innings as it's quite different to what he ended up doing towards the end of his career. Shepherded us home after McMillan got the quickest ODI hundred for NZ (at the time). Brilliant innings and I can watch this all the time.
2. 59 (26) vs South Africa. 2015 WC SF
Not much needs to be said about this innings but basically took apart Dale Steyn who was one of the best bowlers in the world at the time, got us ahead of the game so that Anderson/Elliott could win it for us later.
3. 77 (25) vs England. 2015 WC
The innings that demoralised England and caused them to become the behemoths they are today. Those 4 consecutive sixes off Steven Finn still give me shivers every time.
4. 71 (68) vs India. 2009
Probably more nostalgia as I was at this game but India got 392 courtesy of Tendulkar with 160, wrote us off with no chance but Ryder and McCullum came out and smashed 166 for the first wicket off 20 overs and we thought we were in with a chance but then he got run out... was also his first game as ODI captain!
5. 47 (27) vs Australia. 2016
His final ODI, admittedly against a second string Aussie bowling line up but was just a classic Baz innings.
Could probably swap out 4 or 5 with the Australia WC group game, 50 (24). But didn't wanna have 3 WC 2015 games in there haha.
