4. Mike Atherton:
Chasing 479 runs, England were up against the wall as they had to either chase down the huge total or had to bat over 160 overs to salvage a draw. But England opener Mike Atherton was not ready to throw in the towel as he dished out a masterpiece to save the Test. The former English captain scored 185 not out off 492 balls. The monumental innings lasted 643 minutes.
