#2 Shahadat Hossain (8.41)

Shahadat conceded 101 runs off his 12 overs

Bangladeshi fast bowler Shahadat Hossain played a total of 38 matches and picked up 72 wickets in his Test career but on his debut in the England vs Bangladesh series in 2005, nineteen years old Shahadat leaked a massive 101 runs of his 12 overs at an economy rate of 8.41 runs per over.

He went wicketless in his terrible spell and England crushed Bangladesh by an innings and 261 runs. Shahadat went on to play 37 more matches before he was dropped from the team courtesy to a string of poor performances.
