This document discusses how math is used in cricket through statistics. It provides examples of common batting statistics like runs, average, and strike rate as well as bowling statistics like average, economy rate, and strike rate. It also gives examples of how these statistics are calculated using results from matches. Records from test matches and one day internationals are presented for teams and individuals. The document concludes by showing calculations for run rate, strike rates, and economy rates using scores and bowling figures from a match.

1. and Cricket

2. Maths and sports?
• Geometry: Equipments (Ball, Bat,
Stumps, Helmets, Cork, Cones..),
Ground, Boundaries..etc
• Addition, multiplication, division
(Averages, Strike rates, total scores..)
• Specially formulated formulas for
specific results (Duckworth-Lewis..)

3. Maths in Cricket?
Batting Statistics-
Matches: The number of matches played.
Innings: The number of innings batted.
Not Outs: The number of not out innings - not including times
when the player did not bat.
Runs: The number of runs scored.
High Score: The highest score achieved in a single innings.
Balls: The number of balls faced.
Hundreds: The number of times the batsman scored 100 or
more runs in a single innings.
Fifties: The number of times the batsman scored 50 to 99 runs
in a single innings.

4. Bowling Statistics-
Overs: The number of overs bowled.
Maidens: The number of maiden overs bowled.
Runs: The number of runs conceded.
Wickets: The number of wickets taken.
Best Bowling in an Innings: The best bowling figures
achieved in a single innings.
Five Wicket in an Innings: The number of times the
bowler took five or more wickets in a single innings.
Ten Wickets in a Match: The number of times the
bowler took ten or more wickets in a match.

5. Batting Statistics:
• Batting Average: Runs divided by (number of
times out) = Runs divided by (Innings - Not
Outs).
• Strike Rate: Runs divided by Balls multiplied
by 100.

6. Bowling Statistics:
• Bowling Average: Runs divided by Wickets.
• Economy Rate: Runs divided
by Balls multiplied by 6.
• Strike Rate: Balls divided by Wickets.

7. Other Statistics:
• Fielding Statistics-
Catches: The number of catches taken to dismiss
batsman.
Stumpings: The number of successful stumpings
achieved as a wicket-keeper.
• Partnerships-
First wicket partnership: from the beginning of an
innings until the first wicket falls.
Second wicket partnership: from when the first wicket
falls until the second wicket falls.
……
Tenth wicket partnership: from when the ninth wicket
falls until the tenth wicket falls.

15. • Run rate: to win England need to score 267 runs in
50 overs.
England's required run rate = 267 / 50 = 5.34.
• Batsman's strike rate: Average runs per ball =
(Number of runs scored / Number of balls faced)
Strike rate = Runs per ball x 100
Number of runs Symonds scored per ball = 73 / 81 =
0.9012345
Symonds' strike rate = 0.9012 x 100 = 90.12.
• Percentage of runs in boundaries: % of runs in
boundaries =(4 x number of 4s + 6 x number of 6s) x
100/Number of runs scored
So taking Ponting's innings as an example:
% of runs in boundaries =(4 x 4 + 6 x 0) x 100 /27=
59.3

16. Bowling:
Bowler Overs Maidens Runs Wickets Economy
D Gough 10.0 0 41 0
C T Tremlett 9.0 0 53 1
S J Harmison 9.0 2 44 1
A Flintoff 10.0 0 55 2
A F Giles 9.0 1 44 0
P D
Collingwood
3.0 0 17 0

17. • Economy rate: Economy rate = Number of
runs conceded / Number of overs bowled
Gough's economy rate = 41 / 10 = 4.1
• Bowler's strike rate: Strike rate =Number of
overs bowled x 6/Number of wickets taken
Flintoff's strike rate =10 x 6/2 = 30
