In this quiz, you have to name the players with the most expensive innings figures in Test cricket this century.
This is not a list any bowler would want to be on. But naturally, conceding a bucketload of runs is an occupational hazard in Test cricket – more so for spin bowlers thanks to their ability to bowl more overs and longer spells.

The early 2000s saw some prolific run-scoring, so it is no surprise that many of the entries on this list are from the first decade of this century. However, the most recent Test match, ongoing between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Galle, has seen one spinner make his way onto this list – that too on Test debut.
