(cricket)">runs</a> they have scored divided by the number of times they have been <a href="/wiki/Dismissal_(cricket)" title="Dismissal (cricket)">out</a>, usually given to two decimal places. Since the number of runs a player scores and how often they get out are primarily measures of their own playing ability, and largely independent of their teammates, batting average is a good metric for an individual player's skill as a batter (although the practice of drawing comparisons between players on this basis is not without criticism<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). The number is also simple to interpret intuitively. If all the batter's <a href="/wiki/Innings" title="Innings">innings</a> were completed (i.e. they were out every innings), this is the <a href="/wiki/Arithmetic_mean" title="Arithmetic mean">average</a> number of runs they score per innings. If they did not complete all their innings (i.e. some innings they finished <a href="/wiki/Not_out" title="Not out">not out</a>), this number is an estimate of the unknown average number of runs they score per innings. </p><p>Each player normally has several batting averages, with a different figure calculated for each <a href="/wiki/Forms_of_cricket" title="Forms of cricket">type of match</a> they play (first-class, one-day, Test matches, List A, T20, etc.), and a player's batting averages may be calculated for individual seasons or series, or at particular <a href="/wiki/Ground_(cricket)" title="Ground (cricket)">grounds</a>, or against particular opponents, or across their whole career. </p><p>Batting average has been used to gauge cricket players' relative skills since the 18th century. </p><p>Batting averages are sometimes calculated for whole teams, across a series or tournament.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Values">Values</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Batting_average_(cricket)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Values"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png/400px-CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png" decoding="async" width="400" height="454" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png/600px-CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png/800px-CricketBattingAverageHistogram.png 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="1136" /></a><figcaption>International cricket career batting averages (as of 14 September 2019).

Consequently, batters tend to play riskier strokes and less emphasis is placed on building an innings in order to amass a high individual score. It should also be remembered, especially in relation to the ODI and T20I histograms above, that there were no ODI or T20I matches when Bradman played. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Interpretation">Interpretation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Batting_average_(cricket)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Interpretation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>If a batter has been dismissed in every single innings, then this statistic gives exactly the <a href="/wiki/Arithmetic_mean" title="Arithmetic mean">average</a> number of runs they score per innings. </p><p>However, for a batter with one or more innings which finished <a href="/wiki/Not_out" title="Not out">not out</a>, the true mean or average number of runs they score per innings is unknown as it is not known how many runs they would have scored if they could have completed all their not out innings.
