Bowling Runs excludes byes and leg byes where the source does. Avg = runs conceded per wicket; SR = balls per wicket; Econ = runs per six balls, including historical seasons with different over lengths. 5W = innings with at least five wickets; BBI = best innings, by wickets then fewer runs conceded. Balls are deliveries, not decimal overs.
