Conceding 120 runs while taking 6 wickets gives a bowling average of 20 runs per wicket.

Bowling average = runs conceded / wickets credited

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Enter the scorecard’s runs charged to the bowler and wickets credited to that bowler for the same period.
Run and wicket totals are whole numbers. Zero conceded runs is valid, but at least one credited wicket is required.
The arithmetic supports match, season or career totals without arbitrary historical record limits.
Displayed bands describe the ratio only. They do not establish records or a player’s quality across formats, eras and conditions. A zero average cannot identify an unknown wicket count from zero runs.

No. Bowling average uses runs per wicket; bowling strike rate uses balls per wicket.

Bookify accepts zero conceded runs, removes arbitrary historical total limits, and requires a nonnegative bowling average.
