Batting average

40.00

Strike rate
120.00 runs per 100 balls
Times out

1,200 runs for 30 dismissals is an average of 40.00, scored at 120.00 runs per 100 balls.

How it's worked out

  1. Times out35 innings − 5 not outs30
  2. Batting average1,200 runs ÷ 3040.00
  3. Strike rate1,200 ÷ 1,000 balls × 100120.00
  • Not-out innings add runs but don't count as dismissals, which is why an average can be higher than the highest score.

The formulas

Batting average = runs ÷ (innings − not outs) · Strike rate = runs ÷ balls × 100

Bowling average = runs ÷ wickets · Economy = runs ÷ overs · Bowling strike rate = balls ÷ wickets

Why not outs matter

A not-out innings adds runs but no dismissal, so a batter who is often not out, like a finisher, can average more than their highest score. With no dismissals at all, there's no average yet.

Overs and balls

Overs are written as overs and balls: 120.4 means 120 overs and 4 balls, which is 724 balls. The calculator converts them before dividing, so the economy rate is exact.

Questions people ask

How is a batting average calculated?

Runs scored divided by the number of times out, which is innings minus not outs. 1,200 runs in 35 innings with 5 not outs is 1,200 ÷ 30 = 40.00.

What is a batting strike rate?

Runs per 100 balls faced: runs ÷ balls × 100. 1,200 runs off 1,000 balls is a strike rate of 120.

What is a bowler's economy rate?

Runs conceded per over. 640 runs in 120.4 overs (724 balls) is 640 × 6 ÷ 724 = 5.30 an over.

What's the difference between bowling average and strike rate?

Bowling average is runs conceded per wicket; bowling strike rate is balls bowled per wicket. 30 wickets for 640 runs in 724 balls is an average of 21.33 and a strike rate of 24.1.
