How it works

Average = runs ÷ (innings − not-outs)

Batting average divides runs by dismissals, not innings, so not-out innings add runs without adding to the divisor — the reason lower-order batters and finishers can carry inflated averages. Runs per innings is the stricter measure. A Test average of 50 is elite, 40 is very good; in T20s averages matter less than strike rate.

Worked example

1,856 runs, 48 innings, 6 not-outs: 42 dismissals → average 44.19; runs per innings 38.7.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a dismissal?

Any way of getting out, including retired out; retired hurt counts as not out.

Why is Bradman’s 99.94 famous?

It is roughly double the next-best Test average in history — no other batter with a long career averages above 62.
