Bowling stats
I'm trying to get my head round the bowling stats and which of the series of numbers is the most important. On my clubs website we have -
Average
Runs per over
Strike Rate
BB (Best bowling)?
Is there one of these figures that is generally seen as the best indicator of how well you're bowling and if so which one? If you look at the link here Wrist Spin Bowling: Stat wars #2 you can see that I'm doing okay at the minute (Dave Thompson) but my runs per over are not as good as the best spinner in our club or some of the Off-spinners (I'm a wrist spinner). How important is that figure in the scheme of things? How important are the strike rates and averages?
