100 runs over 2 innings = an average of 50 runs. Simple
But if the batsman finished not out in these innings then the average is more than 50 - how does this work? Thanks.

The sum is simple:
Total runs scored divided by number of COMPLETED (ie batsman is out) innings.

Batting average is the total number of runs scored divided by the number of times dismissed.
It is possible for a batsman with not-out innings to have a higher average than a batsman who has scored more runs in the same number of innings.
So 50, 50 total runs 100, average = 50
25*, 40 total runs 65, average = 65

You see average is calculated by dividing the number of runs scored in a certain number of innings by the number of dismissals in those many innings. Well, even Don Bradman didn't score a century in each of his innings but his average was above 99. This was cause he was dismissed very less times.Obviously, if a person has not been dismissed for a certain number of innings, then the number of runs scored in those many innings becomes his average.

All above is correct, you add up of the runs scored and divide by the amount of innings, then if you are not out the runs are just added to the total score and not divided. (That is how the average goes up when you are still in at the end of the innings)

It gives us the information of about how much talent the batsman has?- of how good the batsman can play- of about nearly how much runs the batsman can score ?
-----------Thank you!
