BOWLING AVERAGE
Bowling 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 = 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 / 500
No of balls bowled = 500 * 40.2 = 20,100 balls
Note
The lesser the strike rate the good the bowler is.
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.
The lesser the economy, the good the bowler is.
