The g word
How does one define greatness in an innings?
Suresh Menon
November 16, 2008
Great batsmen do not play great innings all the time, while even the most ordinary batsman is capable of one great innings that becomes a part of the folklore of the game. Sport has debased the word "great" through overuse; it is convenient, crisp, and to the great delight of headline writers, has only five letters. As a bonus, it rhymes with other sporting staples such as "fate", "late", "rate", "wait" and so on.
What makes a great innings? Lots of runs, obviously, made against top bowlers bowling on a track helpful to them, with the team in desperate trouble and while overcoming a physical handicap. You could throw into the mix such qualities as perfection of shot selection and execution, the impression the batsman gives of playing "on another planet" from the rest of his team-mates, the manner in which the batsman seems to transcend the technique of the game as well as the laws of physics. Needless to say, the more the entries in the criteria column, the fewer the candidates for the "great" innings.
In the next series, an 18-year-old boy made 114 at Perth. Many still consider that the best of Sachin Tendulkar's 37 Test centuries; not great, but just a shade under, for it involved yet another criterion * the age of the batsman. Tendulkar became the youngest player to make a Test century in Australia. The match was lost; many others that saw great innings were drawn.
