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

#4 Maybe the best chance I had to get a double hundred

Even though scores of 100+ and 150+ have been quite prevalent in Test cricket these days, scoring a double-century in Tests will be something a batsman will always cherish for the rest of his career regardless of how long his career goes on to be.

No matter how good form a batsman is in, scoring a double-hundred in any format of the sport is not something you see every day and such chances do not come frequently. When a batsman gets dismissed on 199, he brings in a sea of dejection with him into the pavilion right from the moment he gets dismissed and the thought of it being probably the best chance to get a double-century often comes to his mind.

For batsmen who have been brought into the playing XI as injury covers for in-form regulars, this will probably be one of the biggest thoughts that would come to their minds if dismissed on 199.
