Question

What is the difference between economy rate and average of a bowler ?

Answer 1

economy rate is the number of runs conceeded per over.  average is the no. of runs conceeded per wicket taken.

Answer 2

Economy  means  how  much  bowler  give  runs  in  one over.

While  average  means how  much  bowler  gives runs in taking one wicket.

Answer 3

Economy rate is the calculation of runs given per over by the bowler. simple example:- 60 runs in 10 overs means an economy of 6 rpo

Average is the number of runs given for taking one wicket (on an average)

eg:-

2 wkts taken for 60 runs means an average of 30

Similarly,

Strike rate- no. of balls bowled to take per wicket.

Answer 4

Economy rate is the Total no runs conceeded per over ie 6 Balls. Like if a bowler conceeds 23 runs in 10 overs. so his economy rate will be 2.3. which is very much good economy rate. player like Mcgrath, Courtney walsh have economy of 3.78-3.86.

Average is the relationship between total no of runs conceeded and the wickets Taken. it is Runs Conceed/Wicket Taken. Like if bowler takes 5 wicket by giving 120 runs. so his average would be 24.00. Players like muttaih Murlidharan have a good avg. of 18%

Answer 5

economy rates means the runs given by the bowler per over...

and average means..wickets taken by the bowler..per run

Answer 6

Economy rate is runs conceded per over (6 legal balls) while average is runs conceded per wicket taken. For example a bowler has given away 103 runs in 22.5 overs and has taken 3 wickets. His economy rate is 4.58 (103/22.5) and his average is 34.33 (103/3)

Answer 7

Its quite simple economy rate means = runrate (runs scored of his bowling)

if he bowls 10ovrs n givs 43 runs the economy rate will be 4.3

Average means number of wickets picked up by the same bowler per no of bowls bowled

if he picks up 2 wickets in 10ovrs his average will be 30.00

Answer 8

Bowling Average: Runs conceded for each wicket taken

= (Runs conceded) / (No of Wickets)

Economy rate: Runs conceded per over (also referred to as RPO, run per over)

= (Runs conceded) / (Overs Bowled) {I have given you the explanation for, if the over is not complete in another post}

strike rate is the no. of balls bowled for each wicket

= (Balls bowled)/(No. of wickets)
