BOWLING STATISTICS

BOWLING STATISTICS
BOWLING AVERAGEBowling Average = No of runs given / No of wickets.
Example :Bowling Average is 28.92
=> For every 28.92 runs the bowler takes a wicket.
Example :Lets say if a bowler has taken 708 wickets with an avg of 22.0
Bowling Average = No of runs given / No of wickets.
=>22 = No of runs given / 708
=> No of runs given = 708 * 22 = 15,576 runs
Note :The lesser the Average the good the bowler is.
BOWLING STRIKE RATE
Bowling Strike Rate = No of balls bowled / No of wickets.
Example :Bowling strike rate is 40.2
=> For every 40.2 balls the bowler takes a wicket.Lets say if a bowler has taken 500 wickets with an strike rate of 40.2
=> Bowling strike rate = No of balls bowled / No of wickets.40.2 = No of balls bowled / 500No of balls bowled = 500
* 40.2 = 20,100 balls
Note :The lesser the strike rate the good the bowler is.
BOWLING ECONOMY
Bowling Economy = Total no of runs conceded / Total no of overs bowled.
Example :Bowling Economy is 3.0
=> For every over or for every 6 balls, the bowler concedes 3 runs.Lets say if a bowler has bowled 600 overs with economy of 3.0
=> Bowling Economy = Total no of runs conceded / Total no of overs bowled.
=> 3 = Total no of runs conceded / 600.No of runs conceded = 600
* 3 = 1800 runs.
=> 1800 runs is conceded by a bowler in 600 overs or 3600 balls bowled by him.
Note :The lesser the economy, the good the bowler is.
