3rd T20 Australia v Pakistan November 18 1830hrs @ Bellerive Oval

[LukeParkerno1]

Imagine putting a t20 innings of 41 in there lol

 

[NYRB]

Kim Hughes would be stiff. 100no from 198 against Roberts, Holding Garner and Croft and a really dodgy MCG wicket doing everything for the bowler. Australia was 4 /20, he got them to 198 and they won the Test in a low scorer.

I had it no.1. Rapt to be there and see it live.

I just saw some highlights as I didnt know about that innings until you mentioned it.



Yep in a win its got to be up there. I dont really know too much about the context of the teams back then.

My first ever test match i watched was in 1992/93 when Australia played West Indies in Adelaide, and the Windies pinched a win by a run. And West Indies bowling quartet was formidable back then. Ive only heard of things about the 80s Windies bowling attack.

What I cursed about in that Kim Hughes game on that first day is I went home after the Aussie innings and missed Lillee running through them, bowling Richards last ball of the day to have the West Indies 4/10 at stumps. One of the great days cricket.

It was about context of the innings. We were gone in that game and Wade got us home, which then allowed us to win our first T20 WC final.

It is still not in the top 20 innings, be barely top 50 and that's generous. It's not ahead of a NUMBER of test innings. There's way too many limited overs knocks in that list. How isn't Gilchrist's first ton in there? How isn't Gilchrist's 100 in India there? A few of Ponting's great test innings too.

But that’s like, your opinion. The book is Hodge’s, no one is forcing you to buy it or agree with it all.

Not planning to buy it it's a laugh list though, even Maxwell being top 2 is pushing it, was a good innings, but against Afghanistan?

Aesthetically I can't see how Mark Waugh's debut hundred misses out. I can still see that innings when I close my eyes.

There's another one, just don't see how you can have more than 1-3 (at most) limited overs innings.

No room for Carl Rackemann's 9 Hodgy? Cricketing folklore.

Surprised Quiney's 9 wasn't in there

not much meat on the bones for an interview.

"so you scored 9, eh?"
"yep"

fascinating!

 

[StillAtLarge]

Agar's 98 is still a bit underrated. One of the great counter-attacking knocks

 

[Cleavy]

Damien Martyn in India in 2004? (either of his 2 tons)

 

[Freezin]

Jim Higgs had a few decent knocks from memory back in the day
