How each number is defined

Average: Total runs divided by dismissals — not the mean innings score.
Innings: Completed batting appearances. Did-not-bat is not an innings.
Runs: Total runs scored off the bat.
Strike rate: Runs per 100 balls, over innings where balls faced was recorded.
100s: Scores of 100 or more.
50s: Scores of 50 to 99. Hundreds are counted separately.
Highest: Best individual score in the selected innings.
