Top 5 - Greatest Test cricket Innings in the last 25 years

[@coverdriveirie]

VVS Laxman's innings was certainly great. But for pure theatre and drama I'd go for Lara's as #1. It was the 4th innings of the match and Australia was on the rampage.

[@TheTredoc]

Anthony Brand . Yes. Indeed! Should have been there!

[@EdForceOne-p1z]

Still think Lara's is the best, probably of all time, because he didn't have any support on the other side. Also it was in the 4th innings. Add to it the fact that it was against Australia's fierce bowling attack in a crumbling pitch. Laxman's was great too, but at least he had the ever-reliable Dravid on the other side.

You are an absolute bastard being an Indian praising Lara 153 rather than laxman 281. You MF.

[@UMARRAAFE]

Lara's 153* is undoubtedly the greatest innings of test cricket. Just before the series, West Indies had lost to South Africa 5-0. At the start of the series in the very first test West Indies were bundled for 51 in second innings and lost the match by 312 runs. We can say it was the rock bottom for lara as a captain as well as a batsman. So the pressure on him was extremely high. He did score a double ton in second test but it was the match winning batting in 4th innings of the third test match which was really out of this world, a sheet genius of a batting masterclass. Imagine West Indies were 100 odd for five and then single handedly snatching the victory in that fashion is unheard of.

[@jonboe3939]

Not single handedly...he had other good players in the team who made significant contributions...they had to score over 300 to win...Lara scored half of that...the rest chipped in...to score the rest..

I agree Lara should be #1, as his herculean effort was a lone hand by shouldering most of the strike as he was running out of partners to pull off a miraculous win against Steve Waugh’s mighty Australians. But those saying VVS Laxman benefitted from having the dependable Dravid as his partner, forget that the latter was nursing a raging flu across those epic two days of that amazing match. So, Dravid’s effort should be #3.

1. Ben Stokes recent innings in ashes 2. Inzmam ul Haq Century against Bangladesh . These two are better than Nathan Astle's double Ton

[@arunvikrama]

Sachin's 136 vs Pakistan and kohli's 141 vs aus in 4th innings of Adelaide Chasing 364 are great innings . Unfortunately both end in losing cause

[@dilkumarr9449]

I think brendon mccullum s 300 vs india should also be considered

[@bijanpal6948]

I don't think vvs laxman's is the number one ..... It's Brian Lara innings ....

[@satyamohanty-nz2oz]

Spot on

[@realtalkmediatv3153]

Brian lara:213 Brian lara:153 Brian lara:277

[@devsurya269]

What a list ❤️ Impressive

[@MuraliKrishnaChejerla20101984]

Even lot of good knocks present in test history..the VVS INNINGS WILL STAY FOREVER GREAT VIDEO KEEP GOING SIMPLY CHUMMA

[@jimmartin9704]

Laxmans was a great knock but Lara's 4 th innings was better. Mike Hussey's innings in 2005/6 test against S/ Africa in Melbourne Aust 248-9 Hussey on 27 with only McGrath to bat with put on 107 run partnership to set up a great victory for Australia

[@nagarajmreddy878]

VVS Laxman is the best innings of all time considering the team score when he came to bat both in first and second innigs and that too against top bowling of Australia.

[@chillywilly2692]

Sachin's SCG innings definitely deserves the spot... Consciously not playing the cover drive for the entire innings and remaining not out with 241

[@hussainarif4430]

Truely agreed with the list.

[@apkman3669]

According to Wisden VVS’ 281 is the greatest innings of the last 50 years. A modern masterpiece!

[@sanjoyroy2917]

Laxman played extraordinary innings, but I think Lara's innings was greatest. According to my opinion Lara played the best test innings in last 40 years.

[@kumarrahul4455]

Dhoni inning of 224 in chennai vs Australia was also a great inning

[@danishmuhammad7389]

Why is astle's innings here as the greatest ? Did ye won the game for his country or it was played under pressure or against quality attack or on tricky track ? That innings was just an entertainment as he had nothing to loose

[@Bernie8330]

Absolutely correct. A joke of an innings with nothing riding on it but people just don't understand.

[@laxmanrao3569]

This innings of Laxman will beTHE BEST for All Times to come

[@juniorfergus3522]

Even Lara's first Test hundred, which was a double hundred against Australia .
