Expensive

Earlier we talked about economy bowlers. These are the cricketers who have the lowest economy rates. This rate is usually the best in test matches – 2.75 on average. Expensive is the opposite of economy and is used for bowlers who allow an opponent to score a lot of runs during an over.

Expensive: the basic meaning

A player who is called expensive is not necessarily a bad player. Perhaps he plays well as a batsman or a fielder. Often such cricketers score more than 5 in test matches. In the formats Twenty20 International and One Day Internationals, the numbers are worse as they have a higher game dynamic. It forces cricketers to take more risks, and therefore make mistakes when serving.
