Here I am listing in order of merit a list of my selection of best performances ever by a left handed cricketer
1.Alan Davidson 80 and 44 and taking 11 wickets in Brisbane test v West Indies in 1960-61.-Magnificient all-round effort all but winning at est that was tied.Explosive as lightning and thunder wit both bat and ball,ressurecting his team in the gravest of situations.
2.Wasim Akram at Adelaide in 1989-90-Scored 123 and took 5-100 ,turning a game that looked all but lost.Artistry with ball and bat at a volume rarely seen,which lifted his team like a phoenix from the Ashes.
3.Brian Lara 153 n.o at Barbados in 1999 v Australia-On a broken wicket ressurected his teem from the depths of despair to attain untold glory.
4.Roy Fredericks 169 at Perth in 1975-76-Arguably the best innings ever confronting express pace.Fredricks literally took Lillee and Thomson by the throat,like tiger tearing his prey.Domination at a height unscaled.
5.Gary Sobers at Kingston v England in 1967-68-A masterpiece on a broken wicket scoring 113 when his team was like a sinking ship and with the ball brought his team to the brink of victory.
6.Adam Gilchrist 204 n.o at Johannesburg in 2001
Resembled a bomber destroying an aiirbase scoring the quickest double century till then.
7.Alan Border 100 and 98 n.o in Trinidad in 1984
Combativeness in regions rarely ever transcended ,reviving his team from dire straits.
8..Wasim Akram at Melbourne in 1989-90
Captured 6-62 and 5-98 Pace bowling artistry and all round- skill displayed in regions rarely traversed.Pace bowling perfection personified.
9.Mitchell Johnson 7-68 and 5-59 at Centurion in 2014-Fusion of pace ,movement and control in perfect proportion simply bamboozling batsmen.
10.Alan Border at Lahore in 1980
2 150's on a wicket that turned sharply.Resembled a surgeon performing an operation.
11.Brian Lara 277 at Sydney in 1992-93
In terms of domination reached zones rarely transcended ,on the front and back foot.
12.Gary Sobers 132 in 1960-61 test at Brisbane
Technically, a classic Bissected every region of the field,with skill rarely exhibited
13 Saed Amwar 188 n.o at Kolkata in 1999
A classic on a wearing track,posessing every ingredient of a perfect innings.
14.Mitchelle Johnson 8-61 in 2008 at Perth v South Africa
Pace bowling lethality in regions rarely surpassed,resembling a combing operation.
15.Cllive Lloyd unbeaten 161 at Kolkata-
Few innings did as much as the doctor ordered .after his team was tottering at 212 for 8.His 161 run partnership with Andy Roberts swung the game around 180 degrees.
