Chris Gayle's Gigantic Six Backfired, Cost West Indies Test Match vs NZ

• Chris Gayle's massive six against New Zealand in the 2005-06 Test series inadvertently led to West Indies' defeat.
• The ball, hit off Chris Martin, lodged on the stadium roof, forcing a replacement.
• Umpire Daryl Harper roughened the new ball, potentially only one side, introducing significant reverse swing.
• New Zealand bowlers, especially Shane Bond (fifer), exploited the reverse swing, collapsing West Indies from 148/0 to a 23-run defeat.
• Captains and Player of the Match Shane Bond confirmed the ball change was the turning point.
