It is impossible to talk about sixes in cricket and not mention the Universe Boss i.e. Chris Gayle. Yes, the world remembers former West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle more for his sixes than his runs. When Chris Gayle used to hit sixes, the opposing team realized that the match was out of hand. But do you know that a six hit by Chris Gayle became a disaster for his own team when they lost the match they had won. Now this story is becoming quite viral on social media.
When West Indies lost because of Chris Gayle’s six
Actually, it is about 2006. The West Indies team had gone on a tour of New Zealand. This Test match, which ran from 9 to 13 March, was the first match of the series and was being played in Auckland. The last innings of the match was going on and West Indies needed 290 runs to win. There was a 100-run partnership for the first wicket between Chris Gayle and Darren Ganga and it seemed that West Indies would take the match. Meanwhile, Chris Gayle sent the ball of Daniel Vettori in his court for a six and from here started the trouble which took the team down.
Chris had hit the ball outside the stadium
What happened was that the six that Chris Gayle hit was so long that the ball went out of the stands and was lost. In such a situation, the umpires had to ask for a new ball, but they did not have an old enough ball to replace the lost ball. In such a situation, the umpires took a ball and hit it repeatedly on the gravel pitch so that it becomes old. Now as it got older, this ball became a headache for the West Indies.
The new ball had started swinging reverse.
After this, what happened was that after some time, as soon as the ball went into the hands of New Zealand bowler Shane Bond, it suddenly got reverse swing and the ball started reverse swinging tremendously and West Indies, which was once playing at 148 without loss, got bundled out for 263 runs while chasing 290 runs. New Zealand won the match by 27 runs and Shane Bond took 5 wickets in the second innings. After winning the match, Shane Bond said….”The turning point of the match was when Chris Gayle hit the ball out of the stands, we got the new ball and it started reverse swinging. We just took full advantage of it and we won the match.”
