Being the weaker one in the pack is not an easy job as Robin Peterson found out in a Test match against West Indies in 2003-04. In a home match for the Proteas at Johannesburg, Peterson was up against the great Brian Lara.

Lara plundered all balls in the over for boundaries, the sequence reading a dismal 4, 6, 6, 4, 4 and 4. A four through backward point was followed up with twin sixes over long on and he completed the over with three consecutive fours to record 28 runs in the over, the most expensive in the history of Test cricket. Later in 2013, Bailey took 28 off Anderson's over in the Ashes to match the feat.
