On this very day (15 January) in 1983, David Gower played one of England's finest-ever one-day international innings to score 158 from just 122 balls and help his country to victory against New Zealand.
So with the World Cup and an intriguing tri-nations tournament approaching, what better time to take a look at England's top five individual limited overs batting performances of all time?
While they have had a mixed relationship with 50-over cricket in recent years, England have still produced some quality performers.
So much so that cracking knocks from superb ODI players like Kevin Pietersen, Ian Botham, Allan Lamb, Marcus Trescothick and Graham Thorpe don't make the cut.
The innings that are on the list in descending order have been selected for the situation in which they were produced rather than solely being based on amount of runs scored and strike rate.
