What is the best century at Chepauk?

[vvvslaxman]

Chennai has witnessed some amazing centuries over the years. Which do you think is the best Viru 319 vs South Africa Sunny 236 not out vs West Indies Dhoni 224 vs Australia GR Viswanath 222 vs England Tendulkar 136 vs Pakistan Dean Jones 210 vs India Tendulkar 155 not out vs Australia there are few more. Which one you rate as the best?

[kubrickian]

Viru's 319

[BeautifulGame]

Personally sachin's century against Pank and Martyn's 100 against us in 2004. Both 2nd innings centuries against high quality attacks.

[Lord]

Jones

[SLICKR392]

Viru against FTB Steyn and co.

[vvvslaxman]

Jones

I remember that knock where he kept vomitting.

[vvvslaxman]

Kapil's 109 against Windies was also a sparkling one http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63469.html

I remember that knock where he kept vomitting.

I havent watched any except 224 n 319,but just reading about it,hard to go past Jones

[vvvslaxman]

Vishwanath and Yashpal batted whole day without losing their wickets.

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Tendulkar has a 126 in chennai?

[vvvslaxman]

[Malcolm Merlyn]

yes. That was against Australia.

To give Australia their first series defeat in more than 3-4 years,batting againist Warne/mcgrath and Gillespie.

[vvvslaxman]

To give Australia their first series defeat in more than 3-4 years' date='batting againist Warne/mcgrath and Gillespie.[/quote'] That was Harbhajan and Laxman series. All the other performances in the series were forgotten.

For me personally the Tendulkar 103 not out in 2008 in the fourth Innings v england will always be the best http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/361050.html It was in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks and a Mumbaikar Tendulkar deliveried for his city. Incidently this match was supposed to happen in mumbai but was moved from there to chennai in the aftermath of the attacks. I also believe its the second highest score india chased down in the 4th

[carnish]

Sachin ... 103 vs England Anwar ... 197 vs India Dhoni ... 113 vs Pakistan Dean Jones ... 200 something vs India (just heard about it) Dhoni ... 224 vs Australia Hayden ... 205 vs India (the test they lost)

[kooljatt]

Tendulkar 155* by miles. He was in a different zone in that year.
