10 Lara B.C 153 (143) 1993 WI won by 6 wickets Sharjah

The above list is for the top 10 ONE DAY innings.

WHILE KAPIL's MAGNIFICIENT 175 N.O. , a captain's innings feature above, THERE IS NO MENTION ABOUT SACHIN :shock:

As per them Sachin though scored so many centuries, none of them ARE FIT ENOUGH & QUALIFY to be part of top 10 :evil:

INTERESTINGLY, LARA's NAME APPEARES TWICE :D

Here is the top 10 FOR BATTING :

Position Name Score For Against Venue Season Wisden Rating
1 DG Bradman 270 Australia England Melbourne 1936-37 262.4
2 BC Lara 153* West Indies Australia Bridgetown 1998-99 255.2
3 GA Gooch 154* England West Indies Headingley 1991 252.0
4 IT Botham 149* England Australia Headingley 1981 240.8
5 DG Bradman 299* Australia South Africa Adelaide 1931-32 236.8
6 VVS Laxman 281 India Australia Calcutta 2000-01 234.8
7 C Hill 188 Australia England Melbourne 1897-98 234.2
8 Azhar Mahmood 132 Pakistan South Africa Durban 1997-98 232.6
9 KJ Hughes 100* Australia West Indies Melbourne 1981-82 229.7
10 BC Lara 375 West Indies England St John's 1993-94 228.1

While any top 10 featuring ISAC VIVIAN ALEXANDER RICHARDS is not a surprise, WHAT COULD BE SURPRISING / RATHER SHOCK TO SOME SACHIN WORSHIPPERS IS THAT :

NONE OF SACHIN's CENTURIES FEATURE IN TOP 10 :wink:

Eventhough Sachin's chennai innings against Pakistan WAS CONSIDERED , ultimately it was neglected BECAZ HE DIDNT WIN THE MATCH .

And there is also mention about Lara & the difference between Lara & Tendulkar :

While Lara never expects / leaves it to others to win the match ( HE DOES IT ALONE ) , Sachin got out at the most crucial juncture & India also lost the match which made the difference.

Another interesting aspect, LARA's NAME FEATURES TWICE :D

While Lara never expects / leaves it to others to win the match ( HE DOES IT ALONE ) , Sachin got out at the most crucial juncture & India also lost the match which made the difference. Sachin battled on with his injury... almost like a one man army... How unfair can one get :evil: ...... compare this with saurav, who faked an injury like a coward on seeing a green top against the aussies... :rotfl:

one more pt, all of lara's succesful endeavour's have been while Windies had a better bowling combination, i.e pre-2000 when Walsh was around or curtly ambrose if we go bit back. But for india, they never had a potent bowling. If sachin was to win a match, he has to do it with his batting alone.

Our SILENT ASSASIN ANIL KUMBLE features here :D


Position Name Figures For Against Venue Season Wisden Rating
1 HJ Tayfield 9 for113 South Africa England Johannesburg 1956-577 253.9
2 A Kumble 10 for 74 India Pakistan Delhi 1998-99 248.6
3 JC Laker 10 for 53 England Australia Old Trafford 1956 241.7
4 JC White 8 for 126 England Australia Adelaide 1928-29 238.8
5 RJ Hadlee 9 for 52 New Zealand Australia Brisbane 1985-86 237.1
6 DE Malcolm 9 for 57 England South Africa The Oval 1994 234.4
7 RGD Willis 8 for 43 England Australia Headingley 1981 226.1

9 WJ O'Reilly 7 for 54 Australia England Trent Bridge 1934 224.3
10 GD McKenzie 8 for 71 Australia West Indies Melbourne 1968-69 224.1


Always, cricket has been a BATSMAN's game which is sad :cry:

There have been so many WORTHY PERFORMERS in bowling WHO WON MATCHES SINGLEHANDEDLY

Our Kumble is one who is a picture of CONSISTENCY .

Every 5 wickets in an inning should be considered as EQUAL TO A CENTURY .

Here Anil Kumble stands the best ever & THE REAL GOD :evil:

Wisden judges don't have wisdom. Think most of them are Sachin haters.
