profster Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Tendulkar's easily. Considering his age, the heat, etc and more importantly the opposition. He didn't play too many aerial shots in his innings (just 3 sixes), more relied on dissecting all around the ground, that too against SA fieldsmen. And a bowling attack comprising Steyn, Langeveldt, Kallis, etc. Plus no dropped catches. This! Followed by Rohit's two scores.
putrevus Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Guptill's might be most important one others were just jamodis with no significance.
Marut Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I'd go for Rohit's 200 against Australia. All the ODI 200's have been scored on real pattas but the intensity and quality of Australian bowling attacks regardless of conditions makes Rohit's 200 my favorite. Second Sachin's against RSA. Rohit 200 against the Aussies came against a second or even a third string Aussie bowling side.
adi B Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Narine was no body at that time and neither was that effective whole series. Wrong,he and rampaul were the reason they won at Ahmedabad and indians were struggling to read him barring nohit.that Windies attack was pretty decent
adi B Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 That Windies attack wasn't bad at all ,they had in form roach,rampaul and a mystery spinner narine who ,the indian batsmen were struggling to pick at Ahmedabad
zen Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Viru's was the first double 100 scored w/o huffing and puffing, and w/o relying on too many singles to get to that mark :hatsoff:

Yet another feather in the master's cap. And another one waiting just five runs away, Boucher comes forward and shakes his hand but Tendulkar's holding his celebration for a while later. Tremendous effort 45.4 Parnell to Tendulkar, 1 run, plays a textbook guide behind point for a single India 346/3 SR Tendulkar 196* (141b 25x4 3x6) 46.1 Steyn to Tendulkar, 1 run, doing it in singles is the man , short of a good length, moves back and pats it wide of point for a single 46.3 Steyn to Tendulkar, no run, oooh, a bit of a leading edge there, full on middle and leg , moved across to work it fine, ended up going back to the bowler 46.4 Steyn to Tendulkar, 1 run, full on the off, shuffles and works it past midwicket for a single India 360/3 SR Tendulkar 198* (144b 25x4 3x6) 47.3 Langeveldt to Tendulkar, no run, and defends! Lands on a good length and presents the full face as he respectfully plays it back to the bowler 47.4 Langeveldt to Tendulkar, 1 run, full toss on middle, punches it towards wide long-on for a single , reaches 199, Dhoni doesn't want the second, and he's right India 367/3 SR Tendulkar 199* (146b 25x4 3x6) 49.3 Langeveldt to Tendulkar, 1 run, single to reach the first double-hundred in ODIs, streered behind point, takes off his helmet and waves to the crowd, which is on its feet, so are his team-mates in the dressing room, a fan's blowing a conch, Tendulkar's soaking all the adulation and after a brief moment, gets back to his crease to face the next delivery India 393/3 SR Tendulkar 200* (147b 25x4 3x6) From 186 to 200, no boundaries were hit (overs 44 to 50) :this:

Awesome discussion on that thread :hysterical: I remember its Saurav01 who is arguing about selecting last 15 or 20 balls faced by each batsman to decide which was better knock :cantstop:

coffee_rules Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 How many of you (non-geeks) remember the second person who stepped on the moon? History will always remember the first one!
bulbul Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 How many of you (non-geeks) remember the second person who stepped on the moon? History will always remember the first one! But Moniac remembers only Rohit who is 3rd person to cross 200 :dontknow:
coffee_rules Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 But Moniac remembers only Rohit who is 3rd person to cross 200 :dontknow: Baap, Baap hota hain...Aur pille, pille hotay hain.... [Gabbar Singh Laugh]
zen Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 How many of you (non-geeks) remember the second person who stepped on the moon? History will always remember the first one! In that case (w/o googling), who scored the first 100 in ODIs? Who picked up the first 5-er? :hmmmm:
Al Davis Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Last time checked, 264 > any of those scores....therefore Sharma Ji > *
