how do u compute the average of a BOWLER in cricket?

Answer 1

divide the balls bowled with the wickets taken

Answer 2

Bowling average is a statistic measuring the performance of bowlers in the sport of cricket.

A bowler's bowling average is defined as the total number of runs conceded by the bowler divided by the number of wickets taken by the bowler, so the lower the average the better. For fast bowlers in Test cricket, most need to maintain an average of below about 35 to hold a place in the team. Bowlers who maintain an average of below about 25 over a long career are exceptional. The very best in the modern game have averages just over 20. Acceptable averages for spin bowlers tend to be a little higher ranging between 25 and 40.

Career records for bowling average are usually subject to a qualification of a minimum number of balls bowled or wickets taken, to avoid including artificially high or low averages resulting from a career spanning only a few matches. Under the usual qualification of at least 2,000 balls bowled, George Lohmann has the lowest Test bowling average, with 112 wickets taken at an average of 10.75. It should be noted that Lohmann played in the late 19th century, when pitch conditions were far more favourable to bowlers than is currently the case. Only 11 other bowlers have averages below 20 on this basis.

In terms of assessing the effectiveness of a bowler, the average gives a useful but not a complete picture. Another useful statistic is the bowling strike rate - the mean number of balls bowled between wickets.

Answer 3

You divide the number of runs the bowler concedes whilst bowling ( not including byes or leg byes) by the number of wickets he takes . So for example if in a match he takes 3 wickets but concedes 23 runs his match average would be 7.66 . A career average is also obtained by adding runs and wickets cumulatively after each match and recalculating the average .
In one day cricket it is the same , but the runs per over is also a way that statisticians will judge him . so again for example if he bowls 8 overs and takes 2 for 30 his average will be 15 and the runs per over would be 3.75

Answer 4

Average = runs conceded divided by wickets taken.

Therefore 10 wickets taken for 100 runs conceded = an average of 10.

Runs conceded include wides and no balls but not byes and leg byes. They also include penalty runs if the ball hits an obstruction (5 runs) and overthrows.

Economy rate is calculated as runs conceded divided by number of overs bowled, so 10 overs bowled with 55 runs conceded = an economy rate of 5.5.

Strike rate is the average number of balls bowled to take each wicket, so 10 wickets taken in 240 balls would give a strike rate of 24.0.

I hope this helps.

Answer 5

Even though I haven't seen bowlers from the 1980s and before, I can say from certain that the bowlers today are as good as they have ever been. There may be so many other factors like the quality of bats, video analysis to crack the code of every bowler, the coaching facilities are better. I am now going to pull out something funny from nowhere. I think the then batsmen lacked the motivation to play better because they didn't get huge sums of money to carry home. Also, perhaps they weren't sacked as often for their batting failures. To be fair to the current batsmen though, the fielding has massively improved and it is difficult to score easy runs.

Answer 6

The number of runs given by the bowler per wicket is called average (If the bowling average is less it is better)
The number of balls bowled by the bowler per wicket is the is the strike rate of the bowler (The Lesser the Better)
Eg - 10-2-28-5 (Average 5.6) (Strike Rate 12)

Answer 7

divide the runs given away by the number of wickets taken.

e.g. bowler takes 10 wickets for 100 runs, he has an average of 10.00 as 100 divided by 10 = 10

Answer 8

Goes by the number of runs scored off the bowler and how many wickets the bowler has taken.

Stike rate is the same but by the number of balls bowled

Answer 9

Total runs given by a bowler per wicket taken gives the "Average".
An average of 35 and below is considered terrific

Also,Total balls bowled to take a wicket is called as
"Strike Rate " .

Answer 10

the runs the bowler conceeds divided by the wicket taken by him

so example

fiquires of 10 overs, 2 maidens 38 runs, 2 wickets = 19 average

the overs and maidens mean nothing, its justs runs conceeded/wickets=average runs per wicket

a

Answer 11

Number of runs given in taking aa single wicket.
