Batsmen strive to score the maximum number of runs in the fewest deliveries, placing bowlers in vulnerable positions where they can suffer severe retribution.

However, there is another noteworthy instance where the record for the most expensive over in T20 cricket was established. In 2012, New Zealand fast bowler James Fuller found himself on the receiving end.

Playing for the English County side Gloucestershire, James Fuller conceded a staggering 38 runs in a single over against Sussex during the quarter-final of the Twenty20 Cup.

Facing his fellow Kiwi cricketer Scott Styris, Fuller’s over got off to a rough start as he bowled two no-balls. To compound matters, the tournament’s regulations enforced a penalty of two runs for each no-ball, instead of the usual one.

Consequently, without delivering a legal delivery, Fuller had already conceded 12 runs. Scott Styris then proceeded to strike the next two balls for sixes, followed by a boundary off the third delivery.

Although Fuller managed to keep the fourth ball as a dot ball, the final two deliveries were struck for a four and a six, respectively. These additional boundaries brought the total runs conceded in James Fuller’s over to an astonishing 38.

As a result, Sussex scored a formidable total of 230/4, ultimately securing a victory over Gloucestershire by a margin of 39 runs.
