Marlon Samuels costliest ever dropped catch:
It was the incident of 2015 fourth World Cup quarterfinal. Marlon Samuels’ dropped catch made West Indies to concede a 233 run innings in the World Cup, the highest score by a batsman in the mega cricket tournament.
New Zealand batting first started dispatching boundaries with ease, but Guptill was on four gear so he tried to dispatch a leg stump half volley from fast bowler Jerome Taylor in the very first over of the match, but ended up hitting it straight to Samuels at square leg. The fielder looked nervous as a result it gave the batsman a life who was batting on 4.The dropped catch destroyed West Indies bowlers like never before. Martin Guptill lofted every ball for six and fours and broke Chris Gayle’s 215 runs record of the highest score in a World Cup match. In the process, Guptill also helped his team to qualify for the semifinal with 143 run victory.
