The Most Expensive Over In Cricket: Bert Vance’s 77-Run Spectacle

In February 1990, during a Shell Trophy match in New Zealand, Bert Vance bowled the most expensive over in cricket history, conceding 77 runs. Captain of Wellington, attempting to force a result, employed a risky strategy of no-balls, which backfired spectacularly. Lee German capitalized on the chaos, scoring 70 runs off Vance, but the match ended in an astonishing tie.
