In that recent ODI against the Windies, just imagine if AB had come to the crease in the 25th over instead of the 37th over: he may have made 300

True: we'll never know for sure. It'll be interesting to see how the Proteas play today against the same opponent. Will they rise to the occasion, or has their choking started early???Might've played a bit differently.
Gayle should have been given out plumb LBW for a globe and as Mark Waugh said some of the Zimbabwean bowling was about 4th grade level.
That's kind of my point. None for a long period, now 5 in a short period of time. It shows how the game has changed, and not really for the better.
Guptill 237* v West Indies.
Because out of the list of other batsmen that have scored 200+ he is not known for his agressive approach to the game. Plus, it was achieved in a World Cup Quarter Final.
He is an extremely aggressive but very smart cricketer. His innings against England is one of the best I have seen live. Not sure where the myth of him being unnagressive has come from.Guptill 237* v West Indies.

Exactly right. His innings against England, he was strike-rate was about 75 for until he got to 70, then raised it to 90 and finished with a strike-rate of 121. He is a very good mould for an opening batsman to base their game on, I just wish he was more consistent.Anyone can look a bit slow when opening with McCullum, Guptill is definitely more of a gradual starter and doesn't seem to be bothered with being, say, 10 off 25 balls early on.
From what I've heard/seen, Guppy's innings was almost entirely pure Cricket shots. So he's my number 1.
Tendulkar was the best 200 by a country mile, the two new balls hadn't come in yet and the field restriction as well, and he was the first player ever to do it.
Would tend to agree, was a different game even that recently, we aren't far away from the first 500 score.
