I would add to that ODI list Adam Gilchrist 172 off 126

 

[andrew_nixon]

A couple to add.

In Tests, Atherton's match saving innings against South Africa back in 1995. In ODI's John Davison's century against the West Indies in the last World Cup.

here is my favourite

Test
VVS Laxman - 281 (Kolkata 2001, legendary inning, period)
Sehwag - 309 (Pakistan 2003, what can I say about that one, 1st Indian to reach 300)
Sourav Ganguly - 144 (Australia 2003, Set the ton for rest of the series)
Rahul Dravid - 233 (Adelaide 2003, One of those flawless inning)
Zaheer Khan - 75 (Bangladesh 2004, Surprise!!! )
lara's 400, Surya's 300+, etc.

ODI
Sourav Ganguly - 183 (World Cup v SL Eng 1999, One of the best inning ever, remarkable shot selection)
Mohammed Kaif - 87* ( Lords 2002 v Eng, Never give up, A true warriors inning!)
Kapil Dev - 175* (England 1983, leading be example, A real captains knock}
Saeed Anwar - 194 (Independence Cup v Ind 1996/97, that guy almost scored 200!!! )
Sanath Jayasuriya - 134 65balls 11sixes 11fours (Singer Cup, 1995/96 v Pak, need I say more)
Suriya Again - 189 (Champions Trophy 2000/01 v Ind, I am out of words)
far too many to list.

[Sureshot]

why is haydens innnings in there?

its zimbabwe no record counts against them in my view unless of course streak was playing.

 

[sachinisgod]

he was playing and thats giving too much respect to him...

my favs or the ones that will remain etched in my memory forever:

Test:
1) Laxman's 281 vs Australia 2001 Kolkata
2) Dravid's 270 vs Pakistan 2004 Rawalpindi
3) Sehwag's 309 vs Pakistan 2004 Multan
4) Sachin and Azar's centuries vs SA 1996-97 Capetown (BLITZKRIEG)
5) N. Astle's double century vs England 2001(I suppose - another Blitzkrieg)
6) Dravid, Sachin and Ganguly's centuries vs England 2002 Headingley
7) Lara's 153 vs Australia 1999
8) Tendulkar's 107 vs Australia 1992 Perth
9) Sachin's 136 vs Pakistan 1999 Chennai
10) Gooch's 333 and a century vs India 1990 Lord's...(and the four consec sixes Kapil hit to avoid follow on)...

ODI:
1) Kapil Dev 175* vs Zimbabwe 1983 Turnbridge Wells (No one's seen this on TV but take a look at the scorecard and FOW and tournament result and it seems to me the best ODI innings ever)
2) Sachin's 143 vs Australia 1998 Sharjah
3) Sachin's century against Zimbabwe later in 1998 Sharjah (vengeance personified)
4) Jayasuriya's century and fastest half century 1996 Singapore
5) Ganguly and Dravid on rampage vs SL in 1999 Taunton
6) Kaif's and Yuvi's innings in Natwest Final 2002 Lord's
7) Symond's century against Pakistan 2003 WC Centurion
8) Miandad's innings with the last ball six vs India 1986(or 85) Sharjah
9) Fleming's extra ordinarily calculated innings vs SA 2003 WC Johannesburg
10) Waugh's rescue act vs SA 1999 WC/ Sachin's 186* vs NZ Hyderabad 1999...

there are too many to pick from but perhaps if right now someone gave me a heap of videos and asked me to pick up videos then i would pick these up and watch them in this order...but tomorrow i might pick a little bit different list...

Yeh, it was the full strength side, not the one that is playing at the moment.

 

[Sureshot]

full strength still very weak

 

[Don786]

Here r mine favorite for tests

Laxman's 281 against Australia at Kolkatta
Dravid's 233 against Australia
Sehwag's 309 against Pakistan
Anwar's 188* against India Calcutta
Azharudin's 163* against Australia at Calcutta


Onedays

Jadeja's 45* against Pakistan at Bangalore (1996 World Cup Quarter Final)

Jadeja's 43* against SouthAfrica 1996 (Titan Cup Final)

Kumble's 30*(23 balls) and Srinath's 16*(19 balls) against Australia at Bangalore (Titan Cup Match)

A De silva's 66 against India 1996 (World Cup Semifinal)

Yuvraj's And Kaif's Inngs against England (Netwest Final)

 

[littlegenius90]

among all the great ODI innings this one tops:

In the inaugural World Cup in 1975, with India chasing England's 334 for four off 60 overs, S.Gavaskar scored 36 not out, including one four, off 174 balls, as his side finished on 132 for three. Earlier in the day, Dennis Amiss had scored 137, taking 27 deliveries fewer than Gavaskar to do so.

This was the gratest inning ever... :rtfl
no body can score 36 in 174 balls in ODI today except him

[ZoraxDoom]

Durham play tests now?

In C2004 they can
I think Lara's 400 is the top innings for me, Anwar's 196 for ODIs...

 

[greencarrot2]
