cricketing averages

Cricketing averages measure a player’s performance, typically calculated by dividing the total number of runs scored by the number of times they have been dismissed. For batsmen, a higher batting average indicates consistent scoring. For bowlers, a lower bowling average signifies effectiveness, calculated by dividing the total runs conceded by the number of wickets taken. These averages help compare players’ skills and contributions over time, offering insights into their reliability and proficiency in the game.
