What goes through a batsman's mind when dismissed on 199

#1 So close, yet so far

Ian Bell is another big player who fell for 199

And the phrase that comes on everybody’s list when a person fails to reach an individual landmark by a whisker or a team ends a tournament as the runners-up. It’s just like nearing the finish line but the fuel tank becoming empty by then. In cricket, whenever a batsman fails to reach a milestone, this is probably the first thought that is bound to cross his mind.

Even though a score of 199 is no cakewalk and is a monumental effort, that one run will always haunt the player till he does get to a double-hundred. Thinking about how that one run could have made a huge difference just increases the frustration of the player.
