Batting Average vs Total Runs Scored
Cricket Batting Average
Batting average in cricket is the total runs scored divided by the number of times the batsman was dismissed (not total innings).
Formula
Batting Average = Total Runs / (Innings - Not Outs)
Unlike baseball, cricket averages use dismissals rather than plate appearances. Not-out innings (where the batsman remained unbeaten) are excluded from the denominator, which can inflate averages for lower-order batsmen who are frequently not out.
Example Calculation
A batsman scores 2,500 runs in 60 innings with 8 not outs.
- 01Dismissals = 60 - 8 = 52
- 02Batting average = 2,500 / 52 = 48.08
- 03Runs per innings = 2,500 / 60 = 41.67
