Which 90+ score would have got more credit if the batsman managed to make a century?

Basically, can you think of a high-quality, tough, and/or meaningful innings where a batsman was either out or stranded in the 90s, that would have been remembered or valued more if the batsman had made a century?

One I think of immeidately is Kane Williamson's 97(210) in the 3rd innings against Australia at Christchurch 2016. While we still ended up losing the match fairly comfortably by 7 wickets, it was a superb rearguard action against a very good seam attack in bowling-friendly conditions. It took a peach from Bird to nip out his off-stump.

Any others you can think of?
