Well the world of cricket has seen some great innings by some the greatest batsman .But if you had too choose one only one then which one it would be ? Mine is the one played by Steve Waugh against south africa in the super six match in 1999 world cup .

There are many, not only 1 can be declared as the best by me, like Lara's breaking record of vivin richords against england in westindies, the one inzamam played in pakistan against bangladesh to save the test match actually won it, saeed anwar's 194, dhoni and jaysuria just reaching less than 194, gibbs against that 434 chasing match, javed in sharja last ball six

I wpuld rate sachin's knock of 143 in the summer of 1998 made against Australia at sharjah, which made India to reach the finals of the tournament. The second part of his innings which began after the sandstorm was one to watch. That was flooded with sixes and fours. Great innings. Unhappy now that i can't see that old sachin.

Best Test Innings:~ In a year where pitches sussed out the good from the great, two performances stand out. When Karachi decided to become 1980s Headingley one january morning, Kamran Akmal stroked, from the wreckage of 39 for 6, one of the finest counter attacking hundreds seen in Pakistan.

well....for me the best innings i ever seen is the innings of vvs laxman against australlia at eden gardens in 1998..his partnership with rahul dravid not only saved india from innings defeat...but also helped india to win the match.his double century is the most valuable innings i ever seen in cricket

and the best one day innings was of tendulkar in sharjah but not the one in finals but the one he plays in a match before finals to take india into finals but india lost that match but certainly he has won the hearts of many indians on his birthday.
