The Indian Premier League (IPL)

The popularity of the Indian Premium League continues to thrive each season, having started quite recently in 2008. The IPL is a Twenty20 cricket league that brings international stars to play alongside local Indian players; there tends to be plenty of Australian players found in the IPL. In the 2011 season, there was 10 teams participating, but for the upcoming 2012 season there will be just 9 after Kochi Tuskers Kerala were terminated for breaching its terms of agreement. The 2012 IPL (or IPL 5) will begin in April and end in late May. This is a short period, but there are plenty of other cricket competitions taking place in India throughout the year.

The ODI and Test Cricket Records of Sachin Tendulkar

The Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar is widely considered as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of world cricket. In the previous posting (Cricket Batting Average), we looked at which batsmen in the history of the sport had the highest career batting average in Test Cricket. Donald Bradman was the clear star with an average of 99.94 and we were then introduced to a few players that had just managed to pass the 60 mark by a smidge. A good cricket batsmen would tend to have an average between 30 and 50! That posting touched on Sachin Tendulkar who has a relatively low career Test Cricket average of 56.25 at this time. The superstar Sachin Tendulkar more than makes up for this with his ODI and Test Cricket records though.

Cricket Batting Average

The cricket batting average allows us to measure the performance of a cricket batsman and we will usually have separate averages for various forms of cricket such as ODI, Test Cricket etc. How do you work out a cricket batting average? This is a simple calculation whereby you take the total number of runs made by a batsman and then divide this amount by the number of times he has been out (number of innings). Remember to firstly take away the number of "not-outs" from the total innings. Using the example of the greatest batting average of all time (6996 runs, 80 innings and 10 not-outs), take the 10 not outs from the 80 innings and we have 70. Then we have the 6996 runs and then divide this by that 70, equating to a batting average of 99.94.
