Statistics definitions and missing data
Mat = matches with a recorded innings in that discipline; Inns = recorded innings; NO = not out; HS = highest innings (* means not out). Batting Avg = runs per dismissal; batting SR = runs per 100 balls. 50s excludes centuries; 100s includes all scores of 100 or more.
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.
— means unavailable or undefined, including a zero denominator. Rates requiring balls are omitted if any innings is missing its ball count. Historical boundary and ball counts may be incomplete. Tests and figures for other teams or competitions are excluded. Full methodology
