Stuart Broad has thrown the most expensive in Tests© AFP
England pacer Stuart Broad on Saturday threw out the most expensive in Test cricket when he conceded 35 runs in the on-going game against India at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 29 points came from the bat of the bat of India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah while the rest were extras. As a result, Broad broke South African spinner Robin Peterson’s record when he gave up 28 runs against the West Indies in 2003.
While Broad knocked over the most expensive, Peterson took to Twitter to say he was sad to lose his record.
“Sad to lose my record today, oh well, records are there to be broken I guess. On to the next one,” Peterson tweeted.
Sad to lose my record today, hey, records are made to be broken I guess. On to the next #ENGvIND

Broad conceded 4.5 walks, 6 (no-ball), 4, 4, 4, 6 and 1 in the 84th over and gave up 35 runs as a result. It is important to note that Stuart Broad has the most expensive left in T20Is and was crushed by Yuvraj Singh for six sixes in the 2007 T20 World Cup.
