*4 times he didn’t bat in matches
It is clear from the above that he scored less than 20 runs 43.63 % of the time he played.

It is obviously evident that the first 4 relations are highly correlated. But from this, we can infer that
the runs scored by him and batting strike rate of him doesn’t correlate and also for the time
spent/BF and SR.

How mathematical avg and cricket batting avg differs:

Mathematical average is just summation of the values divided by number of occurrences.

Batting average is summation of runs scored divided by number of times the batsman got out.

How number of 50+, 100+ scores differs for mathematical and cricket point of view:

From the above data, generally we would say 50+ scores are 21 and 100+ scores are 8 but cricket
point of view, 50+ scores are 13 and 100+ scores are 8.
