5 Batsmen who got run-out on 99 in ODIs

5 Batsmen who got run-out on 99 in ODIs: In Cricket a batsman is considered to have made a fabulous contribution if he gets to triple-figure scores. But quite often a brilliant catch or some great bowling cuts a good innings short and the batter has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. But it is particularly disheartening if he is dismissed for 99. That just makes him feel that he was robbed off a deserved ton. And what can be more disappointing if one gets run out on the unfortunate score of 99. The player would feel like digging a hole and get buried in it at that instant. Here are the five batsmen who had to face that misery:

5 Batsmen who got run-out on 99 in ODIs:

1. Graeme Smith 99 (106b) v Sri Lanka, 2002

In the second ODI of the 5 match series South Africa chose to bat first Smith looked in fine touch right away. A brilliant partnership with Dippenaar took them to a big score of 317 at the end. But the innings involved an unlucky instance as Smith was out for 99 when chancing the arm of Sanath Jayasuriya. Jayawardene collected the ball well and dislodged the bails. The innings interestingly witnessed 2 more run outs with Kallis and Boucher meeting the same fate. South Africa eventually won the game by a massive margin of 177 runs as Sri Lanka folded for a paltry 140.
