00:00Chris Gayle once hit a six so high that the West Indies lost a test match.
00:04It was the first test of the 2006 New Zealand vs West Indies series.
00:07The West Indies were cruising in the fourth innings.
00:09Openers Chris Gayle and Darren Ganga had already added 94 runs and West Indies needed 197 more
00:15to win.
00:15Then Gayle smashed Daniel Vettori for a huge six straight onto the stadium roof.
00:20The ball was lost, so the umpires brought in a replacement ball.
00:24And that's when everything changed.
00:26The new ball started reverse swinging, something the Kiwi bowlers could not get earlier.
00:31Shane Bond exploited it perfectly, even dismissing Brian Lara on the first ball.
00:35No batter apart from the openers could cross the 20 run mark.
00:39West Indies collapsed and New Zealand won the test by 27 runs.
