8 Test batsmen who were dismissed on 199

Sanath Jayasuriya missed his double century 19 years ago

8) Steven Smith (against West Indies at Kingston, 2015)

Steve Smith too was unlucky

It was the 2nd Test of the Frank Worrell Trophy and Australia was leading the series 1-0. West Indies won the toss and put the Australians in.

Steven Smith looked in sublime touch as he went on piling runs but the other batsmen were unable to provide him enough support from the other end. He scored a magnificent century and looked set for much more but he was running out of partners.

On 199 Smith wanted to guide the ball for a single but was trapped in front and was adjudged LBW. It was a controversial decision as hawk-eye showed the ball would have missed the leg stump but this sort of things happens in cricket and you have to accept them and move on.

West Indies scored 220 in their first innings handing Australia a comfortable lead of 179 runs. The Aussies declared their 2nd innings on 212 and set Windies an improbable victory target of 400.

West Indies batsman failed miserably in the 2nd innings getting bundled out for a meagre 114. Mitchell Starc was the wrecker in chief picking up 3 wickets.

The victory ensured Australia won the series 2-0.
