Lara 226 is the best test innings in Australia since 1988. Against Warne/McGrath, with zero support from his team mates, 35 year old lara played a masterclass.
Dravid's 233 was great but Adam gilschrit 149 was one of the greatest test innings ever seen. Just second match hard pitch best bowling line up of that time was wasim waqar shoib saqlain .

@Kunal Puthran he wouldn't have played for proteas, when he left south africa his career was going nowhere. England has 18 first class teams (plus the universities) so much more opportunity.
He's still a legend, his career isn't very long but very impactful. Won Ashes in Australia, test series win in India, 2010 T20 worldcup and that historic Ashes win at home in 2005. He has had an illustrious career.
Only after watching such old video clips one can realize that there are not many lefties in the modern cricket who can thrash fast bowling like Gilly did.
Adam Gilchrist was a beast of a Batsman. Tearing the opposition apart from the get - go in shorter formats and the holding the Bastion in the Test matches. And boy, how well did he do it. Matthew Hayden was that big, burly guy who was supposed to scare you but Adam Gilchrist would put any bowling unit to sword.
I have always felt what made THAT Aussie team mighty was one man - Adam Gilchrist. Because Aussies would still have been a great test side with 50% victory margin. What took them to legendary status was many of Gilly's momemtum changing knocks which took them from 50 % to 70 % victory..This last 20 % is damn hard to achieve!
I never got a chance to watch lara bat to the full, but whenever i watch his highlights, i enjoy it. Some thing is pleasant in his stance, the way he connects the ball, just beautiful to watch.
As a South African, I'd like to give an honourable mention to JP Duminy's match/series winning 166 at the MCG in 2008/2009 SA Tour of Australia. Also his 141 in the 2016 Tour as well. Just a shame he couldn't always be as consistent in Test cricket as he was in the shorter forms of the game...
Rahul Dravid won India a match single handed in Adelaide in 2003/4 when he scored 233 in the first innings and 72 Not Out in the second one. Which is my most memorable. Apart from that Greame Smith scored a century with a broken thumb. Class! Also remember his own Ricky Ponting`s debut ashes century batting at No.6. Absolutely amazing player. Straight everyone knew he is going to rule the world someday.
That innings maybe is special in terms of the amount of runs he scored but it was against the worst overseas Indian attack in about 2 decades. Triple centuries are special no matter what.
Gilchrist's 2nd Test match, comes in batting last on a worn 4th/5th day Hobart pitch at 5/126 chasing 369, Pakistan bowlers Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Saqlain with their tails up, series on the line, and smashes a maiden Test century in a 238 run partnership with JL. One of the best innings I've ever seen.
there is so much special things and memorable moments for a batsman who hits century in australia,against the very strong bowling lineup. it increase a confidence.

Not single handedly. Agarkar's spell of 6-41 sprouted a chance of victory from a possible dull draw. Dravid of course played the anchor, and he was ably supported by Laxman (178) in 1st innings; however Australia lacked the services of its best bowlers, viz. Mcgrath, Warne, Lee in that game; hence it is overlooked among the best knocks in Australia. Even though, it can certainly be said that it was better than Sachin's knock of 241 at SCG (maybe not technically) given the impact it had on the outcome of the game.
the aussies will never appreciate any other indian batsman except sachin, there have been so many other indian batsman who have dominated australia but they act like they dont exist, like how could u not include the greatest test innings ever played, VVS laxmans 281
What a gutsy innings it was from Brian Lara at the Adelaide Oval in 2005/2006.The Little Master Sachin Tendulkar was another man perishing the Aussies spinners at Sydney probably.
Great choices... I know all those innings were great. But one thing people might miss that how good a form Clarke was in in 2011/12-2012/14. He was in a sensational run of form...
Sachin is the best ever played game, it’s not possible to any other batsman to score 241 without playing cover drive, that’s why Steve Waugh said Sachin could adapt conditions and game overnight after that 241
Faf du Plessis century on debut to save the test match was one of the best of this decade. But the innings that revolutionised the way a team played had to be Virat Kohlis second innings 141 in Adelaide in 2014.
Strange that he selected sachin's inning over Rahul Dravid's inning. Rahul Dravid's inning of 233 was match winning inning which eclipsed Ricky Ponting's inning of 242. Eventually India went to defeat Australia even after scoring in first inning 556 runs.
I think broadcasters should release uncut version of Sachin’s 241 against Australia at Sydney . It was a masteclass of self discipline . He said in press conferences a night before the start of that test match that he is not going to play cover drive and the amount of juicy full toss , half volley , hit me balls he left outside the off stump was just mind boggling . I watched that test live and I was angry that why he is leaving those balls that his strong area the cover drive , Blackfoot punch , cut shot but he didn’t play those shots . It was a display of self control, self discipline at the highest order . For me this century was the best century I have ever seen in my life . I am a spiritual person and I know how hard it is to control yourself , to control you muscle memory for that long time in front of thousands of spectators .
U just can't miss Rahul Dravid's 233 vs Aus in Adelaide in 2003-04, that came after Aussies 550 in first innings, plus Ind was at 80-4, then RD-VVS epic partnership
I would have replaced Sachin's 241* with Dravid's 233 from the same series. Great list nevertheless and can't complain much about the little master's spot. Also, those Lara square cuts
How about a shocker of a decision that could have shut the shutters for Aussies and the game was for Pak to pocket.Handsome memory but such a pity how it was as it turned out.Gilly played good though
I am surprised he picked that innings of Brian Lara and not the 277. That was his maiden century and a big one at that. The way he decimated Warne in that game (who was on debut, I think) was simply scintillating.
pujara's century in Adelaide is the Latest sensation in Australia. First day of the test match and the series.. India struggling at 41-4..bowlers are Starc Hazelwood Cummins Lyon...good luck.. But pujara stayed there..leaving umpteen deliveries outside the off stump.. scored an epic century to give India respectable 250. One of the best knock in Australia by an overseas batsman.
1. Lara actually deserved to be in that legendary West Indian side of 70's & 80's. With the least support from his fellow mates, he literally had that ability to tear apart the opponent what if He had got some support? Even if you consider the weight of runs, Lara is slightly ahead of Tendulkar. 2. Adam Gilchrist, the sportsman who changed the outlook of wicket keeper batsman in cricket. Steve Waugh once said ' The most valuable player that he had in that invincible Australian team was Adam'
I think the reason Tendulkar is slightly ahead of Lara is because of all the pressure he had. I mean Tendulkar got three MOM awards against Pakistan in 5 world cups and smashed Wasim, Waqar and Akthar. Plus, Tendulkar made India world champions with his performance as well. People forget how much pressure Tendulkar had to win every single game. Lara had no such pressure and that's why he could play freely. In 2003, Tendulkar failed in only one innings due to the formidable total in the final and India lost. Had Akthar got Tendulkar early India would have lost that game as well. If Tendulkar didn't have to win every game on his own he could have remained a swashbuckler, but he always batted with maturity. That's why he is ahead of Lara. Lara played cricket, Tendulkar carried the hopes of a nation and came out on top a lot. And people conveniently forget Windies had Walsh and Ambrose and then other quickies though not top grade but still better than Indian bowlers Tendulkar played alongside.
That 227 in adelaide was a gem to watch, peterson during his in form was impossible to get out.... He and cook, panesar were the reason india lost test series in india which remains the sole series lost for india in india in 2010's....
Arrogant Australia?Listen to yourself, there are 318 comments all from ARROGANT indians complaining about not being included. Now THATS arrogance times a thousand. Get over yourselves already.

@@umangvarshney1 I think you forgot Dravids second innings knock of 70 odd runs in that match. He deserved to be called single handedly won the match.
Included Warner in this List.👌❤
Mike Hussey ashes hundred and Steve Smith century at the Gabba and Sangakkara 192 at hobart.These were great innings as well.
What a class player!! Kevin PIETERSEN ❤️
What a gutsy innings it was from Brian Lara at the Adelaide Oval in 2005/2006.The Little Master Sachin Tendulkar was another man perishing the Aussies spinners at Sydney probably.
Great choices... I know all those innings were great. But one thing people might miss that how good a form Clarke was in in 2011/12-2012/14. He was in a sensational run of form...
Sachin is the best ever played game, it’s not possible to any other batsman to score 241 without playing cover drive, that’s why Steve Waugh said Sachin could adapt conditions and game overnight after that 241
Faf du Plessis century on debut to save the test match was one of the best of this decade.
But the innings that revolutionised the way a team played had to be Virat Kohlis second innings 141 in Adelaide in 2014.
Can't argue with the list
Strange that he selected sachin's inning over Rahul Dravid's inning. Rahul Dravid's inning of 233 was match winning inning which eclipsed Ricky Ponting's inning of 242. Eventually India went to defeat Australia even after scoring in first inning 556 runs.
Brilliant choice of knocks. Gets my vote. Gilly and the indomitable Brian Lara!!!
I think broadcasters should release uncut version of Sachin’s 241 against Australia at Sydney . It was a masteclass of self discipline . He said in press conferences a night before the start of that test match that he is not going to play cover drive and the amount of juicy full toss , half volley , hit me balls he left outside the off stump was just mind boggling . I watched that test live and I was angry that why he is leaving those balls that his strong area the cover drive , Blackfoot punch , cut shot but he didn’t play those shots . It was a display of self control, self discipline at the highest order . For me this century was the best century I have ever seen in my life . I am a spiritual person and I know how hard it is to control yourself , to control you muscle memory for that long time in front of thousands of spectators .
U just can't miss Rahul Dravid's 233 vs Aus in Adelaide in 2003-04, that came after Aussies 550 in first innings, plus Ind was at 80-4, then RD-VVS epic partnership
I would have replaced Sachin's 241* with Dravid's 233 from the same series. Great list nevertheless and can't complain much about the little master's spot.
Also, those Lara square cuts
Class and Elegance of Prince Lara
Lara's shots are still thrilling to watch.
I remember watching Gilchrist inning live. Back in days I used to like cricket.
How about a shocker of a decision that could have shut the shutters for Aussies and the game was for Pak to pocket.Handsome memory but such a pity how it was as it turned out.Gilly played good though
Ricky...luv u...
It so relatable as well as motivating we can achieved just like Sachin did by saying no to cover drive (our own bad habits which harms us )
I am surprised he picked that innings of Brian Lara and not the 277. That was his maiden century and a big one at that. The way he decimated Warne in that game (who was on debut, I think) was simply scintillating.
Best cricket channel
Lara's batting stance was a treat to watch
Gilly and kp were the best which changed the series
I like you Ricky, the most good player i seen
pujara's century in Adelaide is the Latest sensation in Australia.
First day of the test match and the series..
India struggling at 41-4..bowlers are Starc Hazelwood Cummins Lyon...good luck..
But pujara stayed there..leaving umpteen deliveries outside the off stump.. scored an epic century to give India respectable 250. One of the best knock in Australia by an overseas batsman.
Look at KP and clarke batting. That is beautiful.
Rahul Dravid 233 in Adelaide Oval was great as well.
Second compilation of Ricky Ponting I can't agree with. First one was all time best fielders.
1. Lara actually deserved to be in that legendary West Indian side of 70's & 80's. With the least support from his fellow mates, he literally had that ability to tear apart the opponent what if He had got some support? Even if you consider the weight of runs, Lara is slightly ahead of Tendulkar.
2. Adam Gilchrist, the sportsman who changed the outlook of wicket keeper batsman in cricket. Steve Waugh once said ' The most valuable player that he had in that invincible Australian team was Adam'
Sachin Tendulkar is best bestman in all world
I think the reason Tendulkar is slightly ahead of Lara is because of all the pressure he had. I mean Tendulkar got three MOM awards against Pakistan in 5 world cups and smashed Wasim, Waqar and Akthar. Plus, Tendulkar made India world champions with his performance as well. People forget how much pressure Tendulkar had to win every single game. Lara had no such pressure and that's why he could play freely. In 2003, Tendulkar failed in only one innings due to the formidable total in the final and India lost. Had Akthar got Tendulkar early India would have lost that game as well. If Tendulkar didn't have to win every game on his own he could have remained a swashbuckler, but he always batted with maturity. That's why he is ahead of Lara. Lara played cricket, Tendulkar carried the hopes of a nation and came out on top a lot. And people conveniently forget Windies had Walsh and Ambrose and then other quickies though not top grade but still better than Indian bowlers Tendulkar played alongside.
Lara is a bit overrated, failed in world cups
Sachin literaaly has better stats than Lara in both formats.
That 227 in adelaide was a gem to watch, peterson during his in form was impossible to get out.... He and cook, panesar were the reason india lost test series in india which remains the sole series lost for india in india in 2010's....
How can he forget sir Rahul dravid innings...adilade double centurey against mighty australia
Because in that match India won ,,,, and arrogant Australia lost ,,,,, simple
Arrogant Australia?Listen to yourself, there are 318 comments all from ARROGANT indians complaining about not being included. Now THATS arrogance times a thousand. Get over yourselves already.
Sir Rahul dravid's 233 in Adelaide 2003 is my best century in australia
That Gilly knock is one of the greats of all time
Very good video
Ponting ..Sachin..Sehwag...Dravid.. McGrath...Lee...Hayden..Gilchrist.. The architect of 90's cricket era.. we 90's kids were too lucky to watch them play..
Personally I missed Dravid Sir innings in Adelaide - 233 1st innings and match winning knock 70* in second innings..
Most memorable moment for all Indian fans
That is all fans favourite but it is about ponting top 5
Absolutely
