Top 10 brutal innings in ODI cricket

6. Shane Watson (185* v/s Bangladesh, 2011)

The Aussie all-rounder did not just toy around with the Bangladesh bowlers; he gave them such a spanking that they were left running for cover against his most ferocious onslaught in ODIs till date.

After wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim and Shahriar Nafees made half-centuries to steer their side to a respectable total, Watson conjured an innings bereft of remorse and mercy as he single-handedly pursued the target without giving a second thought to the hiding that the bowlers received.

He favoured the leg-side for most of his powerful hits. Left-arm spinner Suhrawadi Shuvo was reduced to a wreck after the Aussie opener smashed him for four massive sixes on a slow pitch that offered plenty of turn for the slower bowlers.

Watson eventually finished on an unbeaten 185, blasting 15 fours and an equal number of sixes from just 96 balls as Australia coasted to victory by nine wickets in just 26 overs.
