What is the Bowling Average?

The bowling average is a measure of the performance of a cricket bowler. It compares the runs conceded by a bowler to the wickets they took. The lower this number is, the better the player's performance.

What is a Good Bowling Average?

The bowling average of a cricket bowler is usually between 20 and 50. Here is a frequent interpretation of the results:

  • Under 20: Extraordinary bowling skills
  • 20 to 25: Excellent bowling skills
  • 25 to 30: Good bowling skills
  • 30 to 35: Average bowling skills
  • 35 to 40: Below-average bowling skills
  • Above 40: Minimal bowling skills
A higher bowling average doesn't mean a bad player, but suggests that this cricketer is likely selected more for their batting roles.
