Have to wade through some comments from absolute morons and microbes. Found this one (agree with this guy, that was a STUNNING innings)

A memory I'd like to share with others is the 45 (in 33 balls) that he scored in SA in the 1997 tri-series final in Durban (if memory serves).

The absolutely STUNNING strokes he essayed that day on a skiddy wicket (due to rain) against bowlers like Donald, Pollock, Bryson, etc. remain with me till today. That was sheer genius on display! (If anyone has a clear video of that, could they please upload it on youtube or elsewhere, kindly? There was a FEROCIOUS square cut of Pollock and a FANTASTIC pulled six off Donald that you just have to see!)

PS: @Sportsfan - Do you know of any other "selfish" player who has 84 (just to be clear... Eighty-four) scores of 80+ in international cricket that have led to team victories?
