Steven Smith’s dismissal on 199 was the eight occasion of a batsman missing his Test double century by a mere run
Steven Smith missed his maiden double century by just one run against West Indies at Sabina Park on June 12, 2015. Bharath Seervi does an analysis of the nervous 190s by batsmen in Test cricket along with some facts and trivia.
Getting into 190s before completing a double century is really a nervous moment for many batsmen. Most get past it and reach their double tons, while others get out between 190 and 199. It is not true getting out in 90s, 190s or 290s is necessarily due to any nervousness or fear, but for some reason these instances are known as nervous 90s, 190s or 290s in cricket terminology.

The first to get out in 190s was Clem Hill in 1910 against South Africa. He was out for 191 at the SCG. Since then there have been 66 instances of a batsman getting out between 190 and 199. Steven Smith has accounted for the last two occasions. He was out for 192 against India at MCG in the Boxing Day Test of 2014 and recently 199 against West Indies. Both openers scoring ducks in the fourth innings of a Test
In all there have been total of 76 scores of 190s in Tests ( including Rahim on Aug 24, 2024)— 67 out and 8 not out. Smith’s dismissal on 199 was the eight occasion of a batsman missing his Test double century by a mere run. Two batsmen have remained not out on 199 while they were left out with partners and the team was all out.
