Brian Lara's 153 at the top because of the situation and conditions in which he ressurected his team from the grave to reach the pinnacle of glory.
Kim Hughes century 2nd because he faced the best pace attack ever to lift his team from the depths of despair scoring more than half his team's runs.

stand up.
VVS 281 at no 4 because although outstanding he also had significant support of Rahul Dravid .Still masterpiece.

Vishwanath turned game taking batting art to regions of the sublime.

Gordon Greenidge in his 214 was an epitome of batting perfection resembling a batting machine .
Sunil Gavaskar's 221 did not possess a single mistake and was like a batting exhibition.
Gary Sobers 254 in the unofficial test revealed batting domination at regions of the sublime.
Tendulkar's Perth century was classical posessing every ingredient of a perfect innings taking batting aesthetics to it's supreme height.
