Broad's expensive Headingley haul

Is there such thing as a ‘bad’ five-wicket haul? No matter the figures, the achievement is still recognised in cricket’s stats and honours boards. Stuart Broad collected the 13th five-wicket haul of his career at Headingley, but New Zealand's tailenders made sure he collected an unwanted slice of cricket history to go with it.

Broad finished with 5-109 from 17.1 overs on Saturday as New Zealand were bowled out for 350. It equated to a run-rate of 6.34, making it the most expensive five-wicket haul in Test cricket history in terms of runs per over.

Broad's new mark eclipsed the previous most uneconomical five-wicket haul, that from South Africa's Dale Steyn, the world's No.1 Test bowler.

Steyn's five wickets against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August 2006, when he was ranked the world No.42, came at the cost of 82 runs from 13.1 overs, or 6.22 runs per over.

Black Caps bowlers Mark Craig, Matt Henry and Trent Boult thrashed 53 runs in just 7.1 overs on the second morning in Headingley as they took their team to 350.

Broad had started the day with 3-83 from 14 overs, but that quickly ballooned to his final figures of 5-109; he wasn’t the only England bowler to take punishment, but he did pick up the wickets; 26 runs and two wickets came in his final 19 deliveries.

Broad's mark may be the most expensive in terms of runs conceded per over, but is well short of the most expensive total spell for a five-wicket haul.

That dubious honour belongs to West Indies leg-spinner Oscar "Tommy" Scott, who's five wickets against England in Kingston in 1930 cost him 266 runs in 80.2 overs, at just 3.31 per over.

Another Englishman, Steven Finn, owns the record for the most expensive five-wicket haul in World Cup cricket, when he took 5-71 in England's tournament opening defeat to Australia on February 14, which included a hat-trick to close the innings.

Finn's mark beat the previous World Cup mark by 20 runs, eclipsing the 7-51 of West Indian Winston Davis against Australia at Headingley in 1983, and fellow West Indian Ravi Rampaul's 5-51 against India in Chennai, 2011.

The most expensive five-wicket haul in all one-day cricket belongs to Scotland's Gordon Goudie who took 5-73 against the touring Australian side in Edinburgh in 2009.
