Worst dismissals (finishing) on 99

[morgieb]

Not Test cricket, but Kerry O'Keefe was left stranded on 99 in some tour match. He never scored a FC century.

Ponting on debut, on 99 overnight, Family came over for his first test 100 and he goes out 3rd or 4th ball the next morning.

Thought he ran himself out going for the 4th and getting injured

Asim Kamal got out for 99 in his debut test match. He never scored a test 100.

Really good player, I thought. Prematurely discarded.

Pretty sure none of this actually happened.

1st Test: Australia v Sri Lanka at Perth, Dec 8-11, 1995 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

In terms of Ponting's debut, it wasn't 99 nor does it appear to have been overnight, but he was brutally dismissed on 96 on debut

Athers slipping and falling on his arse in the middle of the track on the 3rd to take him to his ton

Warne's was amusing as you just knew he probably wouldn't go close to a century again.

Vettori actually bowled a no-ball (overstepped) on the delivery that dismissed him as well (although Warne should have been out when the umpire missed a nick)
