Only 3 times in the history of this great game have this almost rare as smelling the a$$crack of the sasquatch happened...


Botham's performance was away, while Shakib and Imran's was at home.

I want you guys to rate these performances, also, for the poll, I want you to choose the one you think is middling.


Imran Khan: 117, 6/98 & 5/82 v India (Home)

Ian Botham: 114, 6/58 & 7/48 v India (Away)

Shakib: 137, 5/80 7 5/44 v Zimbabwe (Home)

It narrowly don't cut the criteria, But Mushtaq Mahmmad's 121 & 56 and 5/28 & 3/69 at Port of Spain trumps them all.

Yes, the greatest match performance of all time.

Irrelevant to the thread...

 

[subshakerz]

Out of the three, obviously Botham's. It's an away performances and his batting and bowling were more impressive.

 

[ankitj]

Jadeja took 9 wickets and scored 175 in an innings win. Answer is again Jadeja.

Why? It's a better all-round performance.

 

[Prince EWS]

Why? It's a better all-round performance.

He asked us to vote for the middling performance out of three specific performances that met a specific criteria. Other similar performances that don't meet the criteria are of no consequence even if they were better.

I think I'd rate them:

1. Botham
2. Imran
3. Shakib

So I voted for Imran.

 

[Ali TT]

Got to be Jacques Kallis's 139 and combined 7/47 against Bangladesh in Potchesfroom in 2005. Greatest all-round statpadding performance.

Hadlee's statpadding at Christchurch 1984 was pretty good, 99 (from 81 balls, in a match where NZ's opponents didn't reach 100 total in either innings), 3-16, 5-28.

Thread title is wrong: Imran’s 14-116 was against Sri Lanka; he took 11-180 in his match double as the first post says.

Good catch. I edited the title to include it.

 

[HookShot]

To get those sort of figures away from home, and on pitch without a blade of grass when you’re only fast-medium is pretty impressive. Botham.

Your face is of no consequence. And it's not better than anything.

Ditto your posts.
