Worked examples
Batting: a batter scores 450 runs in 12 innings, with 2 not outs, from 360 balls. They were out 10 times, so their average is 450 ÷ 10, which is 45.00. Their strike rate is 450 ÷ 360 × 100, which is 125.00.
Bowling: a bowler takes 12 wickets for 380 runs in 40 overs. Their economy is 380 ÷ 40, which is 9.50. Their average is 380 ÷ 12, which is 31.67. They bowled 240 balls, so their strike rate is 240 ÷ 12, which is 20.00.
What is a good number?
These are rough guides for international men's cricket. Pitches, eras and competitions vary.
| Stat | Test | ODI | T20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batting average | 40+ is very good | 40+ is very good | 30+ is very good |
| Batting strike rate | Around 50 to 60 | 90+ is very good | 140+ is very good |
| Economy rate | Under 3 is very good | Under 5 is very good | Under 7.5 is very good |
| Bowling average | Under 25 is excellent | Under 25 is excellent | Under 20 is excellent |
Which stat matters most?
- In Tests, batting average and bowling average matter most. Time is plentiful, so staying in and taking wickets win matches.
- In T20s, strike rate and economy matter most. A quick 30 can be worth more than a slow 50.
Frequently asked questions
Why do not outs raise a batting average?
Average divides runs by the number of times a batter was out. Not-out innings add runs without adding a dismissal.
What is a good economy rate in T20?
Under 7 runs per over is usually very good in T20 cricket, though it depends on the pitch and phase of play.
What is the difference between bowling average and strike rate?
Bowling average is runs conceded per wicket. Bowling strike rate is balls bowled per wicket. Both are better when lower.
Can a batting average be calculated with no dismissals?
No. If a batter has never been out, their average cannot be calculated, so it is usually shown as a dash.
